Approved West Hartford Park development benefits from strong strategic transport links 🛣️

The 126-acre scheme in Cramlington has received unanimous planning approval, positioning it as a key gateway for global trade and energy projects.

The site benefits from strong transport links, with no highways restrictions, ensuring efficient access for occupiers. It is also located minutes from the deep-sea Port of Blyth and will complement the Energy Central Partnership cluster.

RIP PC JESS TURNBULL

19 YEARS OLD

Every day our emergency services put their lives on the line for us.

Jess died doing her duty.

Our thoughts are with her family, her friends and her colleagues.

A police officer has tragically died in the line of duty after a collision in Northumberland.

PC Jess Turnbull was responding to a collision which occurred on the A189 Spine Road in Cramlington at about 11.10pm on Monday.

While at the scene, she was outside of a marked police vehicle when she was struck by a black Mercedes CLC which was unconnected to the original incident.

Jess was taken to hospital where yesterday, surrounded by her loved ones, she sadly died.

Jess, who was 19, joined the Force in September last year and worked on the response policing team in Northumberland.

Our thoughts very much remain with her family and those impacted by this devastating loss.

If you would like to leave a written tribute to Jess, you can do so by leaving a comment below.

East Hartford playground project has been slightly delayed, but it will commence very soon and will be ready for the summer. Please see below.

🔨 Project Update: East Hartford Playground & Horton Park Dog Park

We want to keep residents informed about two projects that were due to get underway in May.

Work on the new playground in East Hartford and the Horton Park dog park in Northburn has been delayed due to steel shortages affecting supply chains across the construction industry.

We're pleased to confirm that both projects are expected to get underway soon and be completed by the end of June.

We will share further updates as work progresses. Thank you for your patience and continued support.
