Whitburn Community Governance Review

South Tyneside Council is conducting a Community Governance Review (CGR) of the Whitburn Neighbourhood Area following a request from Whitburn Neighbourhood Forum to consider creating a new parish.

During the first stage of the review, residents, organisations and other interested parties were invited to share their views on community governance in the area. We have now considered the responses received, along with other relevant information.

This is the second stage of consultation, and we are now asking for your views on the draft recommendations to create a new parish with its own council. The consultation is open until 23 November, and your feedback will help the Council decide its final recommendations.

🗳️ Take part here: https://www.southtyneside.gov.uk/article/31316/Whitburn-community-governance-review

🍬 Recycle clean cardboard and other recyclable packaging

🔥 This Bonfire Night, leave bonfires to the organised events.
Don’t build bonfires in streets, parks or other public spaces, and don’t leave materials lying around that could be deliberately set alight.

Bonfires can quickly get out of control, putting people, property and our emergency services at risk.

Help keep South Tyneside safe:
- Don’t build or light bonfires in public spaces
- Don’t leave rubbish or combustible materials where they could be set alight
- Choose an organised fireworks or bonfire display instead

Spotted an illegal bonfire being built? Report it anonymously through our Contact Centre on 0191 427 7000, report it online at www.southtyneside.gov.uk/reportit or contact the Police on 101.

If there is a fire and an immediate danger, move to a safe place and call 999.
Enjoy Bonfire Night safely and help keep our communities safe.

🍂 Leaf Clearance Underway Across South Tyneside 🍂

South Tyneside Council's Street Cleansing Team has started annual leaf clearance programme across the borough.

Our teams were out in Jarrow, focusing on Saxon Way, working to clear fallen leaves from roads, footpaths and public spaces to help keep routes safe and accessible for residents.

With leaf fall increasing at this time of year, crews will continue working across the borough over the coming weeks, prioritising areas with the highest levels of accumulation.

Thank you for your patience and support while we carry out this seasonal work.
