Gateshead Council

@AgainstInsulate @Darren_Dawson @KiMcGuinness @PowerRollPV @tokyogas Hi there. The solar PVs on council buildings do benefit the public. All costs we incur as a local authority have to be paid for, so we look for ways to save money on our bills. By powering council buildings from our own renewables, we are less reliant on volatile energy markets.

☀️ County Durham solar panels to be sent to Japan ☀️ This brilliant partnership between @PowerRollPV and @tokyogas is North East innovation going global! We met with Tokyo Gas with Power Roll in Japan last year. I'm delighted led to this agreement - so Power Roll can grow to become a global exporter. Here's a look at the work they're doing from my latest visit!

@Smartp2 As you will perhaps be aware, we are at a time of year when Ramadan has recently finished, and Muslims are celebrating Eid. Saltwell Park is a place that is used for events all year round - not just for the local community to enjoy.

@gateshead Muslim takeover in Saltwell Park today. Bensham area is a large established Jewish area. Actually like a Jewish settlement. Let’s just add a large Muslim community too and re-create the war zone that is the Middle East. Gateshead Council abdicates it care for us

@I_Salute_Cheryl Hi Emily. Sorry to read this. We will check with colleagues and try to find an alternative number. Are you able to use another method to make a payment?

@gateshead I’m trying to get through to 0800 052 3455 to pay the council tax but it’s just silence on the line there’s no ringing noise, is there an issue with the line?

@gateshead have you seen the rubbish along the side of the roads coming off the A1 heading to the Redheugh Bridge?

@NationalHways @gateshead @gateshead - please advise / and or litter pick the road… happy to supply some photos of the litter

@NationalHways why can’t I report litter on your website? I keep getting a blank screen , yet can report other issues. The A189 towards Newcastle ( from the A1 western bypass ) is a disgrace.

@M_G_S1986 Hi there, please report this to us here and the team will take a look gateshead.gov.uk/article/17138/…

@gateshead Any chance of fixing the Moon crater size potholes on the Redheugh Southbound? Getting bigger by the week. And aye, they’re on your side of the boundary.

Sheridan from Jarrow was diagnosed with breast cancer. After treatment, she cut down on alcohol, improved her diet, and focused on her health to lower the risk of cancer returning. 💪More women are pushing back on “wine o’clock” culture. Small changes can make a big difference.

@LesPiggypics Hi Les. We are relaying the flags on the pavements on Jackson St. We've put signs out to say the programme should take 12 weeks, as we need to dig out the concrete base below the flags too. Buses are diverted via Charles St.

@gateshead How long is Jackson Street closed for.

It's very cold across the region! Don’t forget to look out for anyone close to you who might struggle, especially those who are vulnerable or older🌡️ Tips to help stay well though the colder months in the comments section below👇
