History

Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead, South Shields and Sunderland were all constituted as county boroughs under the Local Government Act 1888. Newcastle upon Tyne ( (often shortened to Newcastle) is a city and Metropolitan borough of Tyne and Wear, England Gateshead is a town in Tyne and Wear, England. It lies on the southern bank of the River Tyne, opposite Newcastle upon Tyne. South Shields is a coastal town in Tyne and Wear, England, located at the mouth of the River Tyne. Sunderland (, or /ˈsʌn(dlən/ is a City in Tyne and Wear, England. County borough is a term introduced in 1889 in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (excluding Scotland) to refer to a Borough or a City The Local Government Act 1888 (51 & 52 Vict c 41 was passed by the Parliament of the United Kingdom in 1888 and established County councils and County borough These were joined by Tynemouth in 1904. This article concerns itself with the village For the Parliament constituency of the same name see Tynemouth (UK Parliament constituency Tynemouth Between the county boroughs various settlements were part of the administrative counties of Durham and Northumberland. Northumberland is a county in the North East of England. The non-metropolitan county of Northumberland borders Cumbria to the west

The need to reform local government on Tyneside was recognised as early as 1935, when a Royal Commission to Investigate the Conditions of Local Government on Tyneside was appointed. ^[4] The three commissioners were to "examine the system of local government in the areas of local government north and south of the river Tyne from the sea to the boundary of the Rural District of Castle Ward and Hexham in the County of Northumberland and to the Western boundary of the County of Durham, to consider what changes, if any, should be made in the existing arrrngements with a view to securing greater economy and efficiency, and to make recommendations. "

The report of the Royal Commission was published in 1937. ^[5] It recommended the establishment of a Regional Council for Northumberland and Tyneside (to be called the "Northumberland Regional Council") to administer services that needed to be exercised over a wide area, with a second tier of smaller units for other local government purposes. The second-tier units would be formed by amalgamating the various existing boroughs and districts. The county boroughs in the area would lose their status. Within this area, a single municipality would be formed covering the four county boroughs of Newcastle, Gateshead, Tynemouth, South Shields and other urban districts and boroughs. ^[6]

A minority report proposed amalgamation of Newcastle, Gateshead, Wallsend, Jarrow, Felling, Gosforth, Hebburn and Newburn into a single "county borough of Newcastle-on-Tyneside". The 1937 report was not acted upon : local authorities were unable to agree on a scheme and the legislation of the time did not allow central government to compel one. ^[7]

Tyneside (excluding Sunderland) was a Special Review Area under the Local Government Act 1958. Sunderland (, or /ˈsʌn(dlən/ is a City in Tyne and Wear, England. The Local Government Act 1958 (6 & 7 Eliz2 c55 was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom affecting local government in England and Wales outside The Local Government Act 1958 (6 & 7 Eliz2 c55 was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom affecting local government in England and Wales outside The Local Government Commission for England came back with a recommendation to create a new county of Tyneside based on the review area, divided into four separate boroughs. The Local Government Commission for England was established by the Local Government Act 1958 to review the organisation of local government and make "such proposals This was not implemented. The Redcliffe-Maud Report proposed a Tyneside unitary authority, again excluding Sunderland, which was to form a separate East Durham unitary authority. The Redcliffe-Maud Report (Cmnd 4040 is the name generally given to the report published by the Royal Commission on Local Government in England 1966-1969 See also Independent city A unitary authority is a type of Local authority that has a single tier and is responsible for all Local government functions

The White Paper that led to the Local Government Act 1972 proposed as "area 2" a metropolitan county including Newcastle and Sunderland, extending as far south down the coast as Seaham and Easington, and bordering "area 4" (which would become Cleveland). Cleveland is an area in the north east of England. Its name means literally "cliff-land" referring to its hilly southern areas which rise to nearly. The Bill as presented in November 1971 pruned back the southern edge of the area, and gave it the name 'Tyneside'. The name 'Tyneside' was controversial on Wearside, and the name changed to 'Tyne and Wear' by a government amendment upon the request of Sunderland County Borough Council. Wearside is an unrecognised conurbation in North East England, mostly referring to the City of Sunderland, but also including parts of County Durham including ^[8]

Local government

Although the metropolitan county council was abolished in 1986, several joint bodies exist to run certain services on a county-wide basis. Local government in the United Kingdom is arranged into four different systems with one each for England Northern Ireland Scotland and Wales Most notable is the Tyne and Wear Passenger Transport Authority, which co-ordinates transport policy. The Tyne and Wear Passenger Transport Executive (TWPTE using the brandname of Nexus is the Passenger Transport Executive for the metropolitan county of Tyne and Through its Passenger Transport Executive, known as Nexus, it owns and operates the Tyne and Wear Metro light rail system, and the Shields ferry service and the Tyne Tunnel, linking communities on either side of the River Tyne. In the United Kingdom, Passenger Transport Executives (PTEs are local government bodies which are responsible for Public transport within large urban areas The Tyne and Wear Metro is a metro system serving stations in Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead, South Tyneside North Tyneside and Sunderland, For specific light rail systems many of which use the words "light rail" as part of their name see List of light-rail transit systems. See also Merchant ship A ferry is a form of transport usually a Boat or Ship, used to carry (or ferry) passengers and A tunnel is an underground passageway The definition of what constitutes a tunnel is not universally agreed upon Also through Nexus, the authority subsidises socially-necessary transport services (including taxis) and operates a concessionary fares scheme for the elderly and disabled.

The Passenger Transport Authority is a "precepting authority", raising funds by imposing a levy on the Council Tax of the five constituent authorities of Tyne and Wear. Council Tax is the system of local Taxation used in England, Scotland and Wales to part fund the services provided by local government in each

Other joint bodies include Tyne and Wear Museums, Tyne and Wear Archives Service and the Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service. Tyne and Wear Museums is a regional group of United Kingdom national museums located across the Tyne and Wear area of north-east England. Tyne and Wear Archives Service (TWAS is the record office for the cities and metropolitan districts of Newcastle upon Tyne, Sunderland, Gateshead, Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service, formerly Tyne and Wear Metropolitan Fire Brigade is the Statutory fire and rescue service covering the These joint bodies are administered by representatives of all five of the constituent councils. In addition the Northumbria Police force, which covers the whole of Northumberland and Tyne and Wear, is one of several joint forces in England spanning two or more counties. Northumbria Police is the Home Office Police force responsible for policing the areas of Northumberland and Tyne and Wear in England. Northumberland is a county in the North East of England. The non-metropolitan county of Northumberland borders Cumbria to the west The force was created in 1974, and so is not a by-product of the abolition of the county council.

Identity

The metropolitan county crosses the historic border between Northumberland, and County Durham: the River Tyne. Northumberland is a county in the North East of England. The non-metropolitan county of Northumberland borders Cumbria to the west The River Tyne is a River in England. It is formed by the confluence of two rivers the North Tyne and the South Tyne. Newcastle upon Tyne and North Tyneside are to the north of it (in what was part of Northumberland), and Gateshead, Sunderland and South Tyneside are to the south (in what was part of County Durham). Newcastle upon Tyne ( (often shortened to Newcastle) is a city and Metropolitan borough of Tyne and Wear, England North Tyneside is a Metropolitan borough of Tyne and Wear in the North East of England. Northumberland is a county in the North East of England. The non-metropolitan county of Northumberland borders Cumbria to the west Gateshead is a town in Tyne and Wear, England. It lies on the southern bank of the River Tyne, opposite Newcastle upon Tyne. History The metropolitan borough was formed in 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972 by the merger of several districts of County Durham - Washington South Tyneside is a Metropolitan borough in Tyne and Wear in North East England.

Some organisations do not use Tyne and Wear as a county, instead retaining the historic boundary between Northumberland and County Durham. This includes particularly wildlife and biological recording groups, for whom the stability of recording boundaries is important for the maintenance of long-term records (see Watsonian vice-counties). Wildlife includes all non-domesticated plants animals and other organisms Foundations of modern biology There are five unifying principles Watsonian vice-counties are subdivisions of Great Britain and Ireland used largely for the purposes of biological recording and other scientific data-gathering

The River Tyne was used as the border in 1883 when Parliament created the Church of England Diocese of Newcastle out of the Diocese of Durham and remains so still. The Church of England is the officially established Christian church in England, the Mother Church of the worldwide Anglican You may be looking for the Bishop of Newcastle Australia The Bishop of See also List of Bishops of Durham The Bishop of Durham is the Anglican Bishop responsible for the Diocese of Durham in

Additionally, administrative convenience, demographics and loyalty mean that many sporting organisations also use the historic boundary; For example, the Northumberland Football Association is based in Newcastle upon Tyne, as is the minor counties Northumberland County Cricket Club and its four regular grounds. Sport is an Activity that is governed by a set of rules or Customs and often engaged in competitively The Northumberland Football Association was formed in 1883, having broken away from the joint Durham and Northumberland Football Association founded the previous year Newcastle upon Tyne ( (often shortened to Newcastle) is a city and Metropolitan borough of Tyne and Wear, England The minor counties are the Cricketing counties of England and Wales that are not afforded first class status Northumberland County Cricket Club is one of the county clubs which make up the Minor Counties in the English domestic Cricket structure representing

Some residents also prefer to use the historic counties when referring to places in Tyne and Wear. The historic counties of England are ancient subdivisions of England.

Others feel that the Tyne is linking factor, not a dividing line. Many inhabitants refer to themselves as Tynesiders or Geordies, regardless of which side of the river they are from. Tyneside is a Conurbation in northern England, which is home to over 80% of the Metropolitan county of Tyne and Wear. Geordie (ˈdʒɔrdi is a regional nickname for a person from the Tyneside region of England, or the name of the Dialect of English Despite a strong local rivalry, there are strong links between Newcastle and Gateshead, as well as the many bridges that link the two communities; one example being the (failed) joint bid for European Capital of Culture in 2008. The European Capital of Culture is a city designated by the European Union for a period of one Calendar year during which it is given a chance to showcase its

The House of Commons' is the Lower house of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, which also comprises the Sovereign and the House of Lords The Representation of the People Act 1832, commonly known as the Reform Act 1832, was an Act of Parliament that introduced wide-ranging changes to the electoral system This could see a constituency returning a Conservative MP as the reorganisation of constituencies in the City of Sunderland has created a Sunderland Central constituency, encompassing the Conservative-held wards north and south of the River Wear.
