Proposed Caravan Parking on the Land Opposite the Church

(between the B1505 and the A189)

For the Safety of all Parishioners attending St. John’s please can you object to the above Proposal.

If we all leave it to someone else to do, no objections will be submitted.

It seems Highways England can't support this application until the application applicant provides further traffic flow information. This may change if information is obtained to satisfy their concerns

This means the application hasn't been determined by planners and will not go to Committee until July at earliest and probably August. I don't have further details as yet

I have asked Joanne, and she has agreed, to consult Northumbria Health Trust as I believe this will have an impact on the new hospital

There are over 70 objections on the website - we need many more.

You and your neighbours can still post objections by inputting the reference number 18/00904/FUL on the following website (you can also find the letter from Highways England)

https://publicaccess.northumberland.gov.uk

Get as many people as possible to submit objections – let’s make it most objected to application in Northumberland!

Get as many residents as possible to attend the planning meeting - I'll let you haver details

Get some representatives to speak at the committee against it (I will be speaking too on your behalf) - again I'll let you have details once I know

Set up as Facebook page to promote our objections and stimulate interest and support? Anyone interested good at this and can do - I can provide details info etc.

Finally I've been thinking about organising a demo near site showing our objections - this would attract media interest but timing will be critical nearer to the planning meeting as possible would be preferred. Let me know if you'd be willing to participate

You can help by giving this info to as many of your neighbours as possible - I have limited email addresses

Thanks for your continued support
