Decent Neighbourhood Standards
Every neighbourhood in Newcastle will be brought up to a decent standard under a new set of proposals by the city council.
The council, with residents, wants to create its own Decent Neighbourhoods Standard to ensure consistently good services in each of the city’s 26 wards, with services such as street cleaning, graffiti removal and bin collection being constantly monitored and improved.
Residents who would like to make their views known should visit http://www.letstalknewcastle.co.uk/consultations/index/13 and take part in an online survey.
Newcastle City Council’s draft budget for 2012 has now been published for consultation. We want to hear views on the proposals, in particular from those who feel they might be directly affected by them. It’s really important that we fully understand the impact that budget cuts could have on individuals and communities across the city.
Consultation events
There are three consultation events taking place across the city, open to all residents. Places to these sessions are limited so please let us know if you’d like to attend by sending an email to letstalk@newcastle.gov.uk or phoning 0191 277 7682.
o 25 January, 6 - 8pm, Gosforth Civic Hall

o 31 January, 6 - 8pm, Ouseburn Community Centre

An arts project is taking place which will consider the role of the Second World War bunkers in Kenton and Blakelaw in the air defence of the North of England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The Team working on the project are keen to hear from people who have personal stories of the bunkers and operations to defend the area.

Your local Councillors are keen to improve access to Kenton Dene and for local people to use the Dene for more activities. We are looking at whether we can make improvements to the Dene by creating new footpaths and cycle ways as well as creating wild flower meadows and wet land planting. If you would be interested in getting involved in a 'Friend of Kenton Dene' group to help with this work please contact the Kenton Ward Co-ordinator, Julie Innes-Nelson.
