Throughout the 90s Tyneside was the arson capital of the U.K. The decade began with the worst rioting the North East had witnessed. In response to this an Arson Task Force was created to stamp out the problem. Trailer for an upcoming film with @NCL.i_ Out Spring 2024

The Swing Bridge is an iconic example of Geordie history and ingenuity and my favourite bridge in the world.

I brought together key stakeholders to discuss how we can make the bridge swing again & restore it so our great engineering heritage inspires future generations.

@QUBelfast wants to assign a predicted grade to my dissertation module. According to the rules we have just received, anyone with no summarise assessment will be assigned a grade. I didn't work so damn hard for 5 months, through my granny dying in the middle of my semester /1

The power of the S-Factor... More and more authentic social enterprises like Timpson are finding that genuine "SOCIAL" entrepreneurship, adds cash as well as ethical value to the business.

The average bill will drop to £2,074 a year. #OfGem have dropped the unit price cap, but it’s still twice the price of 2 years ago. The £400 top-up has just ended.

But why is it so expensive? “Ukraine” say the government….1/6

Looking at making a new documentary on Scotswood. Just wondering if anyone in my Twitter circle has lived there throughout all the change?

Hmmm we might not agree that the *best* thing about Newcastle is leaving it 😆

... but we can agree it's fantastic to be connected to other amazing parts of the region 🚲 🌊
