Students taking water samples A message from Kim McGuinness, North East Mayor - Local Transport Plan Consultation
I wanted to personally let you know that on Monday the 4^th of November I officially opened the consultation on my Local Transport Plan, and I’m keen to hear from as many voices as possible from across our region. This is a chance for you to shape the future of how we move around the North East, and your input is so important to get this right.
This consultation is about making sure we’ve got the big picture right: a vision for a transport network that works for everyone. We’re asking whether our direction is right. Like me, do you want to see safer journeys, better connections, and making sustainable travel the first choice? This is your chance to reflect on what you think is needed for the North East.
The consultation will run until Sunday, 26 January 2025, and we’re offering plenty of ways to get involved. You can complete an online survey here (https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/NorthEastLTPMayor) , or you can find other ways to get involved on our website (https://northeast-ca.gov.uk/localtransportplan) .
This is your opportunity to tell us if we’ve got it right, and I’d love for you to be part of this conversation.

New bench installed
By request, a new bench has been installed by the Parish Council at the road end in front of the bus stop. It is hoped this will give walkers a spot to rest, and also a more inviting place to sit for those waiting for the bus. Thank you to all the volunteers and councillors involved in the installation.
New bench at Kirkwhelpington Play area improvements
The Parish Council have recently undertaken improvements to the play area in Kirkwhelpington. This includes replacing the basket swing and laying safety matting. A big thank you to all the volunteer who helped with this work and to the Ray Wind Fund for helping to fund the works. The Youth Group have already been making good use of the repaired swing.
