Stagecoach slammed over Number 3 bus link

Your North Heaton Lib Dem Councillors have protested strongly to Stagecoach and Nexus after the bus company decided to withdraw the number 3 bus service over the winter. The service was cut back to peak hours only a few years ago and GREG has been leading a campaign to restore the service, which runs between Gosforth, the Freeman Hospital, High Heaton, Cochrane Park, Benfield Road, and Walker to Wallsend. The service is locally important as it is the only north-south service for the area and is used by many people to get to and from work or hospital appointments at the Freeman and Walkergate hospitals.

Solar Panels Installed in Pavenham in First Project Supported by Mayor's Climate Change Fund

This week I popped over to Pavenham Village Hall and Playing Fields to see the solar panels putting installed in the first project supported by the Mayor's Climate Change Fund. I was met by Members of the Pavenham Village Hall and Playing Fields Charity, while the guys from S.A. Solar, the Bedford firm installing the panels, were obviously also on hand. Congratulations must go to the Charity's members for pursuing this excellent project, for which they were awarded over £8,000 (50% of the total cost) from our new fund.
