Call for Watergate clean up


LIBERAL Democrat Councillors for the Watergate area of Whickham are calling on officers of Gateshead Council to arrange for the site of the former Watergate Community Centre to be cleaned up.

Councillors Allison Chatto, Yvonne McNicol and Peter Maughan have been contacted by residents concerned about the state of the site which has been left by the Council since the hall was demolished.

Worries have been expressed about dumped rubbish and anti-social behaviour.

“We are pressing the officers of the Council to clean up the site,” Allison explained. “And we want them to consider proposals for the use of the site that will benefit the local community.”
