Prestwick Pete has a makeover - happier and less scary

Noise complaint

Ground noise from Newcastle Airport is one of the "down sides" of living in Prestwick. Engine testing is usually the worst and if residents feel they are disturbed they should complain to keep downward pressure on the Airport management.

Easter Monday between 16.30 Hrs and 18.00hrs saw one of the first warm days of 2015 spoiled by noise from Engine testing.

Prestwick Miner complained - did you? Strength in numbers. It is easy. Email ...... noise@newcastleinternational.co.uk

Potholes reported

Prestwick miner has reported potholes on the corner at Prestwick Hall farm cottages (I refuse to call them roadside cottages)

Does no one else using the road think of reporting them. It always seems to be me that has to get action! Where is our local Councillors - We have two living in Prestwick and many others using the road.

Perhaps it is something Prestwick Residents Association could raise with our Councillors - no doubt they will be wanting residents votes soon.
