Jesmond Surgeries
Nick with Jesmond residents Olwyn Hocking, David Hickling and Cllr David Hardman
Throughout the summer Nick held surgeries in Jesmond and meetings with a number of residents groups. Amongst the issues raised by residents were strengthening the council’s enforcement of rules for Houses in Multiple Occupation, restricting the use of “To Let” signs by estate agents, noise and anti-social behaviour, the ecouragement of considerate citizenship, student housing in relation to council tax and the benefit system, alcohol licensing, conservation, and the ongoing problem of pollution in the Ouseburn.
For a full account of the action Nick is taking on these and other issues, please see here.
