Current consultations

The Council is consulting on it's draft 'Climate Strategy Gateshead 2021'. The strategy outlines why change is necessary, the effect of climate change to date, our vision, strategy for tackling climate change and proposed ward level action plans. In addition, using our interactive map, we are seeking your help to identify existing best practice examples of things that are already helping to tackle climate change and/or where you think there may be opportunities to develop something new or improve something existing to better tackle climate change in Gateshead.

A review of leisure, library and culture services is taking place to make savings of £1.2m from the Council's Public Health and Wellbeing budget. As part of this review, the Council wants to make sure that its buildings are used in the best possible way. The Council is not proposing to close any library buildings as part of this consultation, but it is looking at the potential to use some library buildings as 'community spaces' whilst retaining library functions.

The proposals will affect the following libraries: Chopwell / Crawcrook / Leam Lane / Pelaw / Wrekenton
