The population numbers are very confusing. Bedlington is 15,400 but does that include North Bedlington 9,350 And Cambois 3,836 Then there is Choppington Stakeford and Guidepost 9,594! Is this the North Bedlington figure. Ashington 27,335 but what does that include and exclude Morpeth 16,000 Blyth 35,818 in 2001 Then said to be 36,071 Newbiggen no figure Lynemouth 1,832 Woodhorn. No figure I am very confused and trying very hard to justify why Ashington is so very important that it gets huge funds from NCC. New leisure centre 21 million. New County Hall no figure as yet, none that I know of ! Please help if you can, I know the Forum has people very good at 'Figures!'
