11th hr before @ICOnews step in, @NewcastleCC finally crack & have to reveal their cover up of @northumbriapol’s serious concerns over Jesmond LTN. Is it appropriate for safety of residents to be sacrificed on altar of @JaneLabour’s ambition? @KiMcGuinness https://t.co/SwJqmhgpIJ
Colin Ferguson is officially the new leader of Newcastle City Council. Gosforth councillor leads a new Lib Dem minority administration, confirmed at council AGM this afternoon.
Comes after 'stability and co-operation' agreement to secure support from the Greens.
The calm after the storm.
I, like everyone else who has spent the last 10 hours at Newcastle’s election count, am utterly knackered.
A truly extraordinary day and there are still huge questions about who runs the city now.
@parkrunUK has a big turn out each week on the Town a moor and the exhibition cafe is a focal point on Saturdays for ParkRunners to meet up afterwards. This really poor from @NewcastleCC who we thought encouraged use of our lovely parks. A real backward step.
We are disappointed to see that @NewcastleCC is closing the cafes in Paddy Freemans park and Exhibition park. The state of the play area in Ex Patk is poor and now to lose the cafe is more than disappointing. What are your views @NewcastleLibDem ?
@NewcastleCC South Jesmond By-election RESULT:

Fantastic turn out for Dr Sarah Peters’ South Jesmond by-election campaign launch tonight. Lots of excitement about our authentic, passionate, hard working candidate who lives in the heart of Sandyford. DM us to get involved!

@CMcKinnellMP Hello Catherine, really good to see you engaging in North Jesmond. However Jesmond residents on One Jesmond FB page are asking where this was advertised that you were doing this? We would be happy to publicise any further surgeries you have on our page so residents are aware.
Great event on Saturday on the Town Moor. But sad to see the litter and smashed glass all over the Moor with bags of rubbish still there. Hope this will be gone asap @NewcastleCC
The city is set to be extremely busy on Saturday as people gather for Newcastle United's Carabao Cup celebrations.
Routes in and out of the city are expected to be very busy. If you are coming into our hospitals, please plan ahead and allow more time for your journey.
Major new piece from the Times. A review of 90 low-traffic neighbourhoods found locals opposed the scheme in 87 per cent of cases where polling was conducted. The majority went ahead anyway.
