Lynemouth Power Station Public Highway
Dear Northumberland County Council,
Whilst walking around Lynemouth Power Station, I was approached by a security guard who advised I was trespassing on private property. I was confident that I was standing on the public highway, and therefore require you as the Council responsible for the area - to advise me where public land ends and that private of Lynemouth Power Station Ltd. begins. around the entire perimeter.
For your reference, I was standing at 55°12'08.8"N 1°31'26.4"W (https://maps.app.goo.gl/NjAHWVXJFf4ptc4B8) and at no point were there any signs stating the land had indeed become private.
Yours faithfully,
Paul Rowland.

Dear Northumberland County Council,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of Northumberland County Council's handling of my FOI request 'Lynemouth Power Station Public Highway'.
You have suggested that all information is available online, however you have neglected to provide a link as to where this is held. I could search Google for his, however can not trust the results returned.
Therefore as you hold information about public highways etc., I expect a reply from yourselves explaining where online said information is.
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/l...
Yours faithfully,
Paul Rowland
