Peter Cowey (Mayor) August 2011
The Town Council has been asked to create a plan for Ponteland that will cover the next 20-50 years. To that end Carl Rawlings and Myself are updating a document called the Local Development Framework (LDF). This document will be presented to the Northumberland County Council sometime later this year. It will cover things like, a By-pass, Transport ideas, New Housing as well as Affordable Housing, Business Parks and a number of other items that we think will benefit Ponteland. If you have any queries please e-mail me at the Ponteland Town Council website.
