We are working with Northumbria Police on an issue with travellers who have set up on a field in Gosforth - Christine Herriot, Director of Operations and Regulatory Services

We've been speaking to businesses about kittiwakes getting caught in nets on quayside buildings - and they've pledged to act. Derek Hilton-Brown, our ecology officer explains all.

Like many of you, we've seen reports on social media over the weekend of kittiwakes caught in netting on buildings on the Quayside. We are equally concerned and saddened. We take great care to ensure the protection of Kittiwakes and other wildlife in Newcastle. We thought you should know that one of our officers has been today to visually inspect the buildings concerned and was not able to identify any birds in distress. Whilst we do not own the buildings concerned, we can r...emind businesses that they are responsible for ensuring appropriate permissions are in place for netting, that it is secure and their responsibility not to put any birds at unnecessary risk. We also acknowledge that businesses have a responsibility to protect public health. Tomorrow we will visit the affected premises on the Quayside and impress upon owners public concerns. We would like to thank those who have brought this matter to our attention.
