I saw it taped off and today noticed the roof was missing. Wonder if the council will replace the roof after what happened, or if they'll just leave it.

That wasn't you I saw today with a little ginger pup was it? A lad on a bike wearing a cap and a Berghaus jacket, shouting "Git the !*!@# here man yi little !*!@# *ng d*ck!?� Cute puppy.

Did anyone else see the Budge cordoned off on Monday night / Tuesday? (The seating area opposite the chemists & zebra crossing). I heard that the roof collapsed onto someone, leaving them concussed – does anyone know what happened?
-
Will the tree be decorated and lit up too?

Mr Darn, it isn't always our fault when we are charged by banks. A while back I ended my contract with an insurer – paid off what I owed, cancelled the Direct Debit and left it at that, thinking it was all sorted. A while later I got a letter from the bank stating that I'd been charged £80 because the insurance company had tried to take a stupid amount of money out of my account – twice. In the end I got an apology from the Insurers, but the bank was adamant that I paid the £80. I didn't though – I went to the branch and told them that I refused to pay it. After about 20 minutes of arguing and feeling like I was getting nowhere, I just requested to close my bank account. Funnily enough, the clerk went scurrying off and came back with a manager of some sort, who politely said that he would be quite happy to write off the £80 for me. I would have had to pay the bank £80 for the mistake of someone else – it was out of my control. Today's ruling at the Supreme Court doesn't really bother me that much – it didn't come as a surprise. Bet it doesn't do anything for people's feelings towards the banks at the moment though.

Following on from our previous article regarding the adjournment of the Bedlington Old School enquiry, a date has now been set for Tuesday, December 15th at 10am. The public will not be allowed to speak at the meeting unless permission is sought before the event, however a public viewing gallery will be available for any residents wishing to observe. Commenting on the proposed development, Bedlington.co.uk visitor Sarah, said: "Bedlington doesnt need more housing it needs more community spirit a youth club and some better shops. I have lived in Bedlington all my life and would like to see it go up in the world not down." -
Are the people who own these cars / vans / trailers residents of Beaufront Park? If they are then I'm afraid it isn't illegal to own any of them. However if they are using the area as a car park, why not address the issue with the council? Maybe they would consider introducing Residents Only parking?

It isn't finished yet Brian – last I heard it was delayed by a couple of months because of a few delays in getting the paving. Not sure if it's back on schedule yet though?

Details of Christmas events in Bedlington are starting to come through thick and fast with the Christmas lights switch on set for 5:30pm on Thursday 3rd December. There have also been unconfirmed reports of live entertainment in the form of Sally Rivers and the Big Bash Band. Perhaps most excitingly there will be a FREE ice rink including free skate hire on Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th December! Both live music and the ice rink proved to be popular choices in a recent poll in the Bedlington Community Discussion Forums. There is also talk of a weatherproof bouncy castle called Blizzard Mountain too. More pricing information and dates to follow! Know of any other events planned over the festive season? Perhaps you are hosting something yourself? Why not add them to the Community Calendar for all to see. -
Bedlington based travel agency Prana Travel have teamed up with Northumberland Greyhound Rescue to raise funds for retired greyhounds The charities website www.northumberlandgreyhoundrescue.org.uk is being funded by Prana Travel and a donation to the charity is being made whenever a client books and mentions Northumberland Greyhound Rescue. The scheme aims to raise hundreds of pounds to help towards the rescue and re-homing of these wonderful dogs. Aled Evans of Prana Travel, said: "We are delighted to help support Northumberland Greyhound Rescue by sponsoring the hosting of the website. In addition, we are offering donations to the charity when anyone booking with us mentions Northumberland Greyhound Rescue (NGR): As the owner of two retired greyhounds myself, I know what great pets greyhounds make. The work that Northumberland Greyhound Rescue are doing is vital in giving these dogs a caring and loving home once their racing careers are over. " The donation scheme is expected to become an ongoing source of revenue for the charity, securing kennel places for dogs waiting for homes and helping towards the neutering and micro-chipping costs of each of the dogs. Donations to the charity will be made as follows: Package Holidays: £10 Flight only booking "“ £5 Cruises "“ £25 Tailor-made holidays "“ £25 Aled and his wife decided to start the Bedlington based travel business in 2008.

Plessey Woods Country Park will once again play host to the popular annual woodland Halloween event on Saturday 31st October. The show, produced by the Rabbit Damage live performance company based in South East Northumberland, will feature "The wicked witch Baba Yaga and her evil exploits amongst the trees" as well as a custom made spooky soundtrack, live drummers, singers and flaming torches. Despite the large turnout for the walk in 2007, the event wasn't very well received by Bedlington.co.uk members but the format this year has changed somewhat and promises to offer great entertainment on an epic scale. The night will now feature a 45 minute staged performance at 5pm which will be repeated at 7pm and 8:30pm. Fancy dress is encouraged but visitors to the event are advised to dress in warm, waterproof clothing with sensible shoes. Hot drinks and hot dogs will be available from the visitors centre. Andy Northey, Area Countryside Officer at Northumberland County Council said: "This is one of our most popular events in our calendar "“ we started receiving enquiries about Halloween back in January! It promises to be a fantastic night "“ if a little spooky!" Tickets are available from the Plessey Woods Visitors Centre and are priced at £3.50 for children and £4.00 for adults. For more information call (01670) 824793. -

"The local policing team has been visiting residents and businesses and offering crime prevention advice. "Whoever is responsible for these break-ins is causing a lot of people a lot of distress, and it is not only affecting the owners themselves but the whole of the community in Bedlington." Anyone who was in the area at the time of any of these incidents or who has any information is asked to contact police in Bedlington on 03456 043 043 or the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. -
