Politics is a funny game! Look at the interest in the number of views! The truth of any situation will come to the fore..

Maybe Adam, not sure.

Well done to Malcolm and Adam for 1) being open on this sight about their names 2) being prepared to represent Bedlington in an honest and straightforward way! At least they cared about Britain in Bloom and making our favourite town beautiful. Where were the others, did they not care! That is accepting that no one knew the implication for West Bedlington that had been put forward after theCore Strategy was complete shiny brochure and all. If any other Councillors care to comment that would be great and restore confidence. After all a Parish council seems less powerful to me and only being able to discuss things at Full Council meetings seems to 'Wipe out' people who could help Bedlington. Maybe someone can help me understand. Democracy does not seem too powerful. I look forward to the leader of the council commenting and explaining. Or anyone other than our two favourite independents

The interesting map at the Core Strategy meeting was the extra map not included in the shinny brochure or the map that included all the suggested development over the next 15 years or so ! The areas mentioned for possible consideration for development are :- 6744 the area of land in front of the Broadway House Farm and up to the Golf Club. 6773 the area of land behind Westlea from the Red House Farm. 6775 the area of land up to the Blue House and towards The Netherton Colliery Road. 6774 the area of land North of Hazelmere towards Choppington. It seems under the Greenbelt planning initiative any land for development has to be put forward now. One to watch! If anyone wants that garden or brownfield site developed put it forward NOW. After all that is what the farmer has done.

The new series The Tunnel is filmed under the Keilder Reservoir. If anyone has Sky! Wonder if anyone else knows locations, past and present

Opposite the entrance to the Smithy, on the other side of Front Street East

This is the entrance to the Smithy. Someone's drive

WOW

Our lips are sealed. (She said hopefully) At least we are not in our knickers. Sorry musical movement lessons. We even made it to Alnwick Castle. Just remember Symptoms we all had/have big personalities! We also have God on our side!

Saint Benet Biscop School OAP Xmas party. Invite from a pupil needed? Bribery and corruption may be needed. I personally have offered a bribe but for multiple invites we may need your expertise Symptoms. Anyone with any influence with god. Catholic Order.

Next year it is worth noting that there is an OAP Christmas party at the old school by invite only. Sherry and nibbles plus entertainment. Now how do we get to gatecrash. Symptoms you must develop a plan. Yesterday pm was this years party.

Is there anything we can do to change their mind!

Not sure anyone can beat that Malcolm.

If you had the task now Canny Lass, Mr Johnson would be impressed but the essay would not be short!

Give or take 60 years Canny Lass . Who's counting!

Northumberlandia now has been named Miss World after winning a global competition. It has won the Best Landscape Architecture category in the 2013 International Property awards.

Norman your recollections are important. I think Westridge gave us confidence and a thirst for knowledge. Many of us travelled to pursue our dreams. Chef to the fire service, I hope there was not a need to put out a fire after a meal!

What was the crime Canny Lass? Before the day is out there will be lots of suggestions I think.

It will be interesting moving forward.

Guidepost/ Stakeford/ Choppington are separate to Bedlington and warrant 420 new dwellings!

1,200 new homes in Bedlington under the Core Strategy, over the next 20 years. Various locations in Bedlington Green belt or no green belt seems to be a problem! Land owners being creative suggesting odd pieces of land. Transport, schools etc do not seem to be taken into account . View the Northumberland Local Plan - Core Strategy.- Bedlington Unfortunately The town Council were not able to attend the meeting because they had a Britain in Bloom prior engagement at the same venue!!

Hope you have had a good day.

We tried to access the Smithy today without success. After re reading we will try again. It seemed dodgy to walk down someone's drive on Front Street. Towers Close will be changed for ever.

The lights and the Bedlington looked great. Well done.

This is the information I have but I am not sure anyone will be interested! NCC consultation on preferred options for housing,employment and greenbelt! Drop in 3pm till 6pm Discussion 6.30 -8.30 Bedlington Community Centre. This information is from an agenda for the 14th Nov 2013. Maybe it has changed
