The green green grass of home?


LIBERAL Democrat councillors representing Whickham North are pressing for the grassed area on Milton Road to be returfed. The call was made by Councillor Chris Ord who has been contacted by residents about the state of the green area.

The site was used to house portacabins used during recent work by Gateshead Housing Company on local houses. The work has now been completed and the cabins have gone.

“When it rains, the grassed areas look more like a battlefield than a lawn,” said Chris. “So we are asking for the area to be returfed.”
