Bedlington to get a ‘shed’ to keep people happy


Its the summer holiday period and although many don’t wish to chance a holiday abroad staycations and visits to places for a day out are taking off nicely and from home bases in Northumberland, North Yorkshire is and can be a nice place for one of those visits and where nicer that the warm welcome you will receive in the town of Richmond.

After a lovely day out and an explore of this very quaint old town with a great shopping and eating day time environment, nice gardens and a very historic castle to visit, on your way home take a quick look at Lidl in Richmond.

This lay article isn’t an advert for Lidl, its to ask you to envisage the type of architecture and quality of building Labour had planned for the site named by local school children as ‘Pipers place’ thats come to be known through the financial and administrative mess that the Tories and their Bedlington Tory-dependents have created as the ‘Bedlington Hole’.

Lidl in Richmond is of the same quality as was planned for Pipers Place a vision that certainly won’t ever come to fruition under the financially inept handling of cash and expenditure by the Administration in charge at County Hall in Morpeth, who have been exposed for their ineptitude, bullying management and impending commercialisation of your services even after Councillor Nick Oliver has borrowed £880Million and delivered nothing but spin about what they plan to do in South East Northumberland.

The noise leaking from County Hall is that infighting over the ‘hoyoot’ with Tory Councillor’s scrabbling in the dirt for the scraps of cash that haven’t already been wasted will lead to a tin shed to house an Aldi store in Bedlington its all that Councillor Glenn Sanderson who’s portfolio includes regeneration wants delivered to supposedly appease local people and help them forget both the mess their Council and its company Advance Northumberland are in and how from fully priced up and affordable incredibly lovely architecture that was planned and promised, Bedlington folk will have to be satisfied with the allotment style scraps the Castle Morpeth gadgies are going to deliver in a mad rush before May 2021.
