Rest of <strong>Gateshead</strong> ‘green with<br />
envy’ over West winners<br />
Tenants from the West of <strong>Gateshead</strong> have<br />
walked away with a hatful of prizes in a<br />
recent top gardening competition.<br />

almost half of the housing company's prizes.<br />
The prizes went to:<br />
• Best large kept garden (open class) - Karen<br />
Paterson of Blaydon<br />
• Best large kept garden (open class) - Sandra<br />
Burt of Blaydon<br />
• Best kept older persons garden - John Moody<br />
of Winlaton<br />
• Best new entry - John Moody of Winlaton<br />
• Hanging baskets - Patrick Kelly of Ryton<br />
• Plant containers - Evaline Dodds of Winlaton<br />
• Window boxes - Evaline Dodds of Winlaton.<br />
The competition attracted entries from<br />
<strong>Gateshead</strong> residents, schools, commercial and<br />
industrial premises and religious grounds, with<br />
three area competitions covering the whole<br />
borough.<br />
Additional prizes in each relevant class were<br />
awarded to the best entry from a tenant of The<br />
<strong>Gateshead</strong> <strong>Housing</strong> <strong>Company</strong>.<br />
Well done to everyone who took part in the<br />
annual competition, which was organised and<br />
supported by In Bloom Committees, <strong>Gateshead</strong><br />
Council, The <strong>Gateshead</strong> <strong>Housing</strong> <strong>Company</strong> and<br />
B&Q.<br />
See pages 26 and 27 for more news about<br />
winners across the whole borough.<br />

Anti-social behaviour April<br />
2008 to March 2009<br />
Last year, The <strong>Gateshead</strong> <strong>Housing</strong> <strong>Company</strong> closed 1,664 anti-social<br />
behaviour cases across <strong>Gateshead</strong> after taking decisive action.<br />
In West <strong>Gateshead</strong> 283 were closed, with 95 per cent resolved without<br />
the need for legal action.<br />
What have we done in West <strong>Gateshead</strong>?<br />
We took 56 formal and legal actions.<br />
We took action at least every two working days.<br />
We sent 33 written warnings about bad behaviour.<br />
Several referrals were made to our Mental Health link worker.<br />
Got 4 suspended eviction orders – a final warning!<br />
5 young people worked with our Young Persons officer.<br />
The Mediation Team worked with 28 people.<br />
5 pupils were reported as being truant.<br />
And much, much more<br />
Evictions make headlines – but almost all anti-social behaviour cases are solved before that.<br />
If we do need to take action – we will. And that includes evicting people from their homes.<br />
If you want to report any type of anti-social behaviour contact your nearest housing office or call<br />
0191 433 5327, Monday to Friday until 7pm and on Saturdays until noon.<br />
You can also report it online at www.gatesheadhousing.co.uk/asb or e-mail to<br />
nrt@gatesheadhousing.co.uk<br />
If you want to know more about how we tackle anti-social behaviour then<br />

New play area for Pipebridge<br />
Board member and local councillor John W Hamilton, sees the play area plans with John Monaghan<br />
of The <strong>Gateshead</strong> <strong>Housing</strong> <strong>Company</strong>'s Decent Homes Team.<br />
Children in the west of <strong>Gateshead</strong> are set to<br />
have a new play area, thanks to The<br />
<strong>Gateshead</strong> <strong>Housing</strong> <strong>Company</strong>.<br />
A new £200,000 play area will be built on the<br />
Pipebridge estate on unused land.<br />
Board member, John W Hamilton, said: "The<br />
housing company has made improvements to<br />
thousands of homes across <strong>Gateshead</strong>, but it is also<br />
firmly committed to improving estates.<br />
"This new play park will provide an area for children<br />
to play safely and increase the local community's<br />
sense of pride in their neighbourhood."<br />
Funding for the play park was provided by the<br />
housing company's sustainability budget<br />
following recent Decent Homes work on the<br />
estate.<br />
Your estate, your views<br />
The <strong>Gateshead</strong> <strong>Housing</strong> <strong>Company</strong> wants your views on how we could make your estate even better.<br />
One way to do this is to come on an Estate Tour - see page 20 for details of your next tour.<br />
But, if you can't make a tour, you can still give us your views and we will make sure your housing office,<br />
our Neighbourhood Relations Team or other services get to hear about it.<br />
Simply fill in the form below and return it to us - no stamp is needed.<br />
Important: You don't have to give us your name and address - but it will help us to give you feedback if<br />
you do. You must tell us the estate you live on though, to help us look at the issue.<br />

Crackdown on private<br />
landlords<br />
<strong>Gateshead</strong> Council's Cabinet has been asked<br />
to back plans to force landlords in<br />
Chopwell to obtain a license before they<br />
can accept tenants.<br />
The move has been backed by local<br />
residents, many of whom have<br />
previously raised concerns about<br />
the management of privatelyrented<br />
homes in Chopwell's<br />
river streets.<br />
Plans for a licensing<br />
scheme similar to one in<br />
operation in Sunderland<br />
Road in the centre of<br />
<strong>Gateshead</strong> will force private<br />
landlords to prove they are fit<br />
and proper people and also<br />
meet minimum housing quality standards.<br />
A person can be fined up to £20,000 if he or she<br />
has control of a house in a selective licensing<br />
area without a license.<br />
They can also fined up to a £5,000 fee for failing<br />
to comply with any license condition.<br />
Residents at a West<br />
<strong>Gateshead</strong> estate are<br />
set to benefit from just<br />
over £1.2m of home<br />
improvements this year.<br />
Over 135 homes across<br />
High Spen and Barlow are<br />
currently being improved<br />
as part of the housing<br />
company's Decent Homes<br />
programme.<br />
Depending on each<br />
property's individual<br />
survey, work could include<br />
new kitchens, bathrooms,<br />
loft insulation, rewiring,<br />
heating systems, windows<br />
and doors.<br />
The housing company's<br />
Chief Executive, Bill Fullen,<br />
said: "We have already<br />
changed housing in<br />
<strong>Gateshead</strong> forever by making improvements to<br />
thousands of homes, with less than one in eight<br />
homes now needing work done."<br />
Work started in September on the estate and<br />
should be completed by early next year.<br />
Selective licensing to the river streets area<br />
will, when combined with other measures,<br />
hopefully lead to an improvement in the<br />
area, says <strong>Gateshead</strong> Council.<br />
A decent £1.2m housing<br />
boost<br />
Left to right, Councillor Andrew Graham, Alison Bulman of the housing<br />
company, Councillor Brenda Osborne, tenants Alan and Pat Lockey,<br />
contractors Richard Linton and Jade Jolly and Estate Officer Lisa Corrigan<br />

improvement work can contact the<br />

Making a difference<br />
in West <strong>Gateshead</strong><br />
The housing company has been doing a lot to<br />
improve the West of <strong>Gateshead</strong> with the help of<br />
customers – here are just a few recent examples:<br />
Help reduce crime in your<br />
area<br />
If you are concerned about crime why not go to<br />
your next local police surgery:<br />
• Chopwell Community Office - Saturday,<br />
7November from 4pm to 6pm<br />
• Blackhall Mill Post Office - Sunday, 8 November<br />
from 3pm to 5pm<br />
• Emmaville Hall, Crawcrook - Tuesday, 17<br />
November from 2.30pm to 4pm<br />
• Ryton (outside Somerfield) - Wednesday, 18<br />

Friday, 23 October from 4pm to 5pm<br />
• Winlaton library - Monday, 9 November from<br />
5.30pm to 6.30pm<br />
• Rowlands Gill library - Tuesday, 10 November<br />
from 7pm to 9pm.<br />
Eastlands - Winlaton<br />
Work has been completed to improve a wellused<br />
footpath on the estate.<br />
The Estate Officer ensured the neglected path<br />
received new fencing through the Designing out<br />
Crime budget to improve the estate.<br />
Lime Grove - Ryton<br />
Work will be carried out to remove two walls on<br />
Lime Grove that created a confined area, which<br />
had previously attracted anti-social behaviour.<br />
The area will become more open plan and<br />
should prevent the area being used as a<br />
gathering place.<br />
Ash and Lime Street -<br />
Blaydon<br />
The housing company has secured funding of<br />
almost £60,000 to provide a landscaped parking<br />
area on the end of Ash and Lime Street to<br />
improve estate parking.<br />
Greenfields - Ryton<br />
A shortcut to services will be created leading<br />
from Greenfields to Ryton main road. The path<br />
will help residents and in particular elderly<br />
resident's access services close to their homes.<br />
Bleach Green - Blaydon<br />
New gates were recently fitted to the entrance of<br />
Green Gates Park.<br />
The gates were built higher to help tackle antisocial<br />
behaviour in the area, as there were<br />
problems with people climbing into the park at<br />
night and causing a nuisance.<br />
