I had just reviewed the You Tubes which went in with the various town Portas bids and personally I wouldn't have given any of them 100p never mind 100K!
Before I gave any reasons here's the Newbiggin one and there are plenty more from our area!
Public services and transport? Is that not a local council problem should talk to their local councillor or their Town Council to deal with that problem? yet again they say "we have been abandoned" yet they have had as i said before £3 million on a new Maritime Centre and another £10 Million on a "new" Beach talk about favoritism. Also they talk about business comming and going from Newbiggin, 3 Commercial Property up for sale in Newbiggin on Mike Rogerson Website compared to 5 In Bedlington, how many businesses have come and gone from Bedlington including the 3 Banks in the last 2 years compared with Newbiggin?

A Bypass for Morpeth £40 Million.
A Maritime Centre for Newbiggin £3 Million.

Nope; way back in those days golf was highly elitist. You'd only find people like businessmen, trade union bosses, management of nationalised industries, and upwardly mobile socialist politicians, able to afford the private club membership fees!
Shameful what that stuck-up club did to poor old Ramsay MacDonald though!
Just like now

I should also get a prize for suggesting there'd be no Rosebay Willowherb growing there now.
I had a look at Google Earth just now to try to place the track in context and was mildly suprised to see the railway line still running through Bedlington Station, although it must be said that the track bed looks in a right state at the level crossing ... litter, broken wooden boards, etc. Does this track get much used these days? I seem to remember that once the coal traffic was lost the line was occasionally used as a diversion loop when engineering work was being done on the London/Edinburgh mainline. Once in the 70s my Kings Cross train to chillyjockoland was sent through Bedders ... it made my day!!!
There is still a bit of rail traffic goes though Bedlington station that i know of (have seen) the alcan trains which will continue for the next 18 months i hear but going up to fort william, coal trains going to the Port of Blyth to be loaded and some going to lynemouth power station and lets not forget the odd rail tour from time to time.

Maybe we should take a page out of clement attlee's book found this while surfing the web
.one of the main achievements of Attlee's government was the maintenance of near full employment. The government maintained most of the wartime controls over the economy, including control over the allocation of materials and manpower, and unemplyment rarely rose above 500,000, or 3% of the total workforce. In fact labour shortages proved to be more of a problem. In addition, the inflation rate was also kept low.
when the Attlee Government was voted out of office in 1951, it had left the economy in better shape than they had found it in 1945, while the period from 1946 to 1951 saw continuous full employment and steadily rising living standards, which increased by about 10% per annum. During that same period, the economy grew by 3% a year, and by 1951 the United Kingdom had "the best economic performance in Europe, while output per person was increasing faster than in the United States.

A vicar goes to a mans house because the man has a problem the vicar say, "get onto the booze and try to organize some local wife swapping, it will do you the world of good." The man says, "Thank you vicar." The vicar says, "Also if i don't see you at the dogs tommorrow put a bet on for me." The postman hears the conversation and say, "Vicar is that not bad advice to give to one of your flock?" The vicar replies, "You see I'm not the local vicar. He's at home mucking about with my wife, so I'm mucking about with his parish."
, would guess it is where the dentists is, best guess i can give

More Money For Wansbeck
in Talk of the Town
Yes the market palce was done up but it was a waste of money but apart from that and the shop fronts Bedlington has had no other money for anything how can anyone say it is right to spend more then £73,100,000.00 in wansbeck and Bedlington has not even seen a 10th of the money.
