News on Safe Heaton

Corrected figures for Fenham on 16 December

Many thanks to everyone for your comments on our proposals to create safer, cleaner and greener neighbourhoods in Arthur’s Hill, Fenham and Heaton.

Feedback on the proposals closed on 7 December 2021.

A lot of the comments received were positive, with some people asking us to be bolder but some residents have raised some potential issues, which this process is designed to tease out.

Our team will be busy reviewing your responses and we will share with you the final designs for your area in early 2022.

Some hi-lights from each area include:

Arthur’s Hill

Proposals that prompted the most comments were Sidney Grove, followed by Stanhope Street.

Fenham

• 1,114 visitors to the Commonplace website

• 506 total number of comments (previous figure of 1414 comments included 908 agreements on comments made)
