The potholes at Prestwick Hall Farm corner are approaching being dangerous and have been reported.
And have now been repaired - pity that the repair gang left some holes - they will need to come back soon!

Hedge adjacent to Airport boundary
Following Prestwick Miners contact with the Airport the following replay has been received.
"Thank you for contacting Newcastle International Airport (NIA). As part of our annual maintenance programme, each October, work begins to cut back the perimeter hedges across the site. This includes the hedge at Prestwick Road Ends.
I have checked with our maintenance team and I am informed that the contractor is currently on site. I therefore expect that the hedges at Prestwick will be cut back imminently.
Should this not have occurred by early November please do feel free to contact me again."
UPDATE!
Hedge now cut and a very good job. The contractor even tidied up after him as he should have done. I bet Council Tax payers have to foot the bill to tidy up after the farmers cut the other roadside hedges.
AND
What happened to our local councillors and Prestwick Residents Association? It took Prestwick Miner once again to get some action!

Footpath side hedges need cutting
It is surprising that no one has agitated to get the roadside hedges cut- the footpath is extremely narrow. Year after year it seems to be me that gets the action. How about our Town Councillors or Secretary of Residents Association trying to secure the hedge cutting?
To be fair the Airport did cut there hedge without being asked as my post of 11th October 2013 will testify. But we are now getting to a stage where it is dangerous for pedestrians to use the footpath.
Hedge cutting is the responsibility of adjacent land owner according to the 1982 Highways Act. AND the hedge cutter should TIDY UP after and not leave it to the Council Tax payer to pay for the road sweeping!

Newcastle Airport Prestwick Focus Group Meeting
Prestwick
Focus Group Meeting
27.01.2014
Present: Graeme Mason Planning and Corporate Affairs
Director, Erin Robson Airport Planner, Christine Caisley Ponteland TC, Eileen
Armstrong Northumberland CC, Gerry Richardson and Jane Holden, on behalf of
Prestwick Residents.
·
Flooding
Erin confirmed that the existing lagoon systems have
been checked and they are working as they should be, they are adequate and
constructed to Environment Agency standards.
The Airport is aware of our concerns about flooding and
will look again at the drainage arrangements for the proposed new car park.
·
Proposed new car park
The new car park will be accessed by the existing
airport road network. The construction of the car park will be phased and is
unlikely to be as big as is indicated on the plan in the first instance. Graeme
Mason pointed out that they are aware of the issue of light pollution and the
airport intends to introduce various measures to minimise this. The airport
intends to write to all residents to outlining details of the new car park.
·
Increased traffic and roadside
parking
Erin Robson and Graeme Mason felt that increased traffic
through the village would be unlikely as the main access route is via the A696
dual carriage way. This was questioned by the residents.
It was pointed out that the airport pays the police to
monitor parking in the vicinity of the airport. Apparently, the police do move
illegally parked vehicles on and where appropriate ticket them.

Roadside hedge well cut
The roadside hedge on Prestwick road has been cut by the Airport company. It is a very good job, well cut, no mess left and cut around street signs with no damage to signs. Other hedge cutting contractors could learn a lesson here.
