Redhead's Landing
Redhead's Landing.......(cont.)
I'm very greatful to the 73 year old gentleman who has supplied me with more old cuttings from the Shields Gazette to help protect the status of Redhead's Landing. He has given me an interesting clip from 8th. September 1988 which includes an article about Graham Smith who ran the sub Post Office in the Mill Dam. He was objecting to the Council's plans to stop up River Street (Redhead's Landing) to traffic.
I quote directly from the Gazette's article;
"The subject of Graham's current vitriol is the Council's proposal to close off the old Redhead's Landing on the riverside and restrict access to what is a public right of way to legitimate users."
So yet again we see another indication of a public right of way here, so how on earth the Council missed this when they drew up the definative map of public rights of way is very puzzling. I'm hoping that some good Councillors, or our Member of Parliament, might read this and be able to persuade the Council that it made an ommission that now needs correcting, this might save me the effort of filling out the lengthy formal application to have Redhead's Landing added to the map.
As for now, with the Tall Ships Race almost upon us, the Council must enforce the conditions of the original planning permission given to Tyne Slipway and it's predecesors, that the gate for public access must remain open at all times.
Many thanks for the cuttings George!
