yes its true he has packed the milk in..... that was why I said HAD and it was all in the past tense

Well wonders never cease did our lot decide to get on a bus and go and have a look at Morpeth to see how to get paths etc clear? I,m pleased they have made a start on our front street but lets be honest its a bit late isn,t it. I,m also pleased we live on a hill because if we had been flooded it would be a case of everyman for himself because our lot would have to had a trip on a boat somewhere to see what to do, they really are THAT pathetic.

It,s not Brian the milkman is it ? I know he had a big milkround but I never thought he used to go that farafield lol

Not wanting to mislead anyone OR make our lot feel totaly inept but my comments did not include the housing estates in Morpeth....... see Bedlington council at least you got one thing in common bet that makes you feel better lol

Morpeth roads AND pavements are a credit to the council/workers is it the same NCC we come under ? OR are those in charge there in-tune with the local people and businesses

Could not agree more

Some buggers shirt tails

I think certain ones THINK they are you know the ones who strut around town with the holier-than-thou attitude but they are no more than a common thief

OH you must be a hanger on lol

My comments were not directed at you, to the contrary I find a lot of what you post on here very interesting it just peves me that these people who are apparently "in charge" of the day to day running of OUR borough seem to have no idea on what to do. They have a restructuring excercise to get rid of people then a few months down the line do it again well if you ask my opinion if there not intelligent enough to get it right the first time maybee its THEM that should go INCLUDING THAT PRAT Armstrong, as you will gather hes really annoyed me, he made similar comments last winter, so IF you do read this or one of your hangers on wishes to pass MY comments on I will gladley come to Cramlington pick you up and drive you round Bedlington or any other councilor with bloody BIG blinkers on for that matter

Hope you find a job soon good luck and just keep on trying.

While I fully understand the finances and the logistics of keeping our roads in a safe condition, with all due respect NO one can tell me the road past the golf club as an instance is anything other than unsafe and bloody dangerous, I fully appreciate the fact that estates are unfortunatly not a priority but at one time they were, so they have saved a lot of money by abandoning them, even the pavements at one time they were always doing them to help the townsfolk get up the street not now probably incase someone sues them due to the litigation society we find ourselves in ,again more money saved, the gritters themselves appear to be putting out less grit than they used to(WHEN YOU DO SEE ONE THAT IS) I think they are made to drive around with the lights flashing just to lure us in to thinking that grit is being laid or are those lights capable of melting ice? And I,m not having a go at the people who drive these gritters far from it, but in the event of an accident which there was on Saturday 27TH the Welwyn bridge was closed because it was ungritted and deemed to be unsafe within 20 mins there was a FLEET of council vehicles there to make it safe, but why wait until there was an accident if the job had been done properly in the first place it may not have occured. The lost days off work by folks not getting there, the accidents that are caused by dangerous ungritted roads the damage to vehicles and god forbid lives too, the children not getting to school and the hassle that causes for working parents the cost to industry is immense. I know you will fully understand my comments but I personally feel the cost should not be shouldered by industry and the NCC is passing the buck it annoys me when some bloke called Alan Armstrong from the cooncil says everything is ok and seems to believe what he says I would love to drag him down here and open his bloody eyes.... his rose tinted glasses are obviuosly a very dark colour..........prat

Disgrace is too nice a word to describe the way the gritting has been handled or NOT as the case maybee in Bedlington. I wonder what would happen if we ALL decided not pay a portion of our cooncil tax as a mark of disgust

COONCIL what bloody cooncil they cant clear the bloody roads and paths so slow aint the word my friend........ nondescript, pathetic, usless, overpaid fools trying to justify there positions doing ALL THE WRONG THINGS........ rant over sorry

Took me 30 mins to get from Bedlington to the A1 yesterday not a grain of grit on the road and Hartford Bank was something like Eddie the Eagle used to ski down and this was at 5.30 am........ this morning same time got to the blyth side of the bridge and the roads were a lot better but our roads are just the same........... travled to just north of Morpeth tonight and the roads leaving Bedlington are an utter disgrace where are the GRITTERS?

No disrespect but thats not putting money towards the "illuminations". And by the looks of tonights "display" its no different to anything we have had in the past . and my comments are aimed at Tesco,s here and the prizes from the independants are to be applauded taking in to account the times in which we live in

At the station the local business sort out the lights with the help of raffle tickets being sold to local residents. They are not brilliant however we still have the "Station Star" . Why does,nt Tesco get involved with the lights on the front street they happily take residents money so they should put something back in to the community. There was enough money spent on the new market place for them

As your probably aware I,m not the most prolific visitor to this site and to be TOTALY honest its the 1st time I have noticed this thread and as I did I breathed a sigh of relief because about 6 or 7 months ago I saw this BIGGER than a domestic cat on consecutive days and I thought it must be the light playing tricks with me glimmers. I pass the golf club between 6.15 and 6.30 most mornings and I saw it near the old quarry on both occassions, it was the size of a fox but definatly catlike, I have not seen it since even though I do look, I even took my dogs down there in case it was laid up but to no avail. So thank you for putting my mind to rest its nice to know I,m not going daft or seeing things

I still think she looks like "Alice" off The Vicar of Dibley

The Colour makes no difference to me ..........I,m colour blind

I fully understand your sentiments and your right hatching deals behind closed doors is far from democratic and the way politics is and has been for a long time I also believe is wrong. These people are elected by the people to act in the best interests for the people apperently. Politics needs a good kick up the backside as does the voting system I do think PR would be a start.

And MORE democratic

PR is definatly the best idea I cannot see why certain parties are scared of it

WELL SAID and so VERY TRUE It opitomises EXACTLY the attitude to some around this area.
