About the Parish
| Overview |
Blakelaw and North Fenham Civil Parish is located about 2½ miles to the north-west of Newcastle city centre. The area was built mainly in the 1950s and 1960s. The Local Government and Rating Act 1997 gave the potential for residents to form new civil parishes if there is sufficient support. An association and petition called the 'Campaign for a Parish Council for Blakelaw and North Fenham' began in 1998. The parish was created on the 1st April 2001 and the first elections were held in May of that year.[1] It is one of only 6 civil parishes in the City of Newcastle. |
