Current consultations

The Council relies on income from charges to help pay for Adult Care and Support Services. We aim to be transparent, consistent and fair when setting charges. We would like your views on three proposed changes to the Charging Policy.

Newcastle Gateshead Clinical Commissioning Group (NGCCG) and Gateshead Council have been working together to look at how we can better support our informal Carers of Gateshead regardless of the age or condition of the cared for person. 

We have already engaged with Carers of all ages and professionals about Carers needs.

As part of the next stage of the review, we need to find out if there is anything missing from the service aims.

We would like to hear from:

• Organisations and the Voluntary Sector which have links with and currently support informal Carers across Gateshead
• Health and Social Care professionals
• Employers which support working carers
• Educational representatives who support Young Carers and Young Adult Carers in Schools/Colleges

The Council is proposing to extend the cycleway on Durham Road A167 near Camborne Place. The scheme will include:

Notice is hereby given that the Council proposes to make 'The Borough Council of Gateshead (Longshank Lane, Birtley, Gateshead)(No Waiting at Any Time Restriction) Traffic Regulation Order 2017'.

Notice is hereby given that the Council proposes to make The Borough Council of Gateshead (Orchard Road and Park Drive, Whickham, Gateshead)(No Waiting at Any Time) Traffic Regulation Order 2017.

The project aims to improve pedestrian and cyclist safety by amending the existing zebra crossing on Derwenthaugh Road (adjacent to The Copse). This will involve the narrowing of the road at the crossing, leaving a single lane in each direction.

The scheme aims to improve facilities for pedestrians and cyclists and also improve the area through the introduction of wider paving areas and the reduction in carriageway available for vehicles.
