Wrong Road Sign
Put Up By Coucil
When asked to repaira damaged fence to the area surrounding Northburn Sports &
Community Centres football pitches, the council even erected a new sign. Unfortunately they put up a sign saying Northumberland
Road, however, the sign should read Northumbrian Road.

Shop Owner Fined
For Selling Alcohol to Minors
A shopkeeper caught selling booze to teenagers in Cramlington has been
fined £80. The action comes as members of the town’s neighbourhood policing team are clamping down on under-age
drinking and the anti-social problems it causes. Officers saw a youth leave the Nelson Village Store in Arcot Avenue with
a bottle of vodka and blue WKD on Friday. They stopped the 16-year-old and seized the alcohol and were told he had bought
the booze without being asked his age. Officers then spoke to the shopkeeper, who admitted selling the drinks and was given
an £80 penalty notice and a warning. (courtesy of Wayne Daley)
