⚓ North Shields 800 - Fact of the Day ⚓

June 15th, 1854

The foundation stones were laid for the North and South piers at Shields harbour entrance to provide a safer and sheltered entry to the river mouth.

Under an Act of 1852, the work was to be completed in seven years. In 1859, an Act extended this by ten years and an Act of 1872 further extended the timeframe to 1882. However, it was almost 50 years before they were finally completed after several instances of storm damage breeching the North pier in the 1890s.

Every year, around 200,000 seamen entered and left the Tyne.

We’ve received several reports of groups pretending to work for us and cold-calling to homes in North Tyneside wearing uniforms similar to ours, trying to encourage residents to file disrepair claims.

They are claiming that they (pretending to be the Council) would support the disrepair claim, promising ‘no win, no fee’ in an attempt to lure you into a lengthy legal contract. Please be careful as these contracts can have large financial costs if you attempt to leave the agreement, or if your disrepair claim is dismissed in court.

Often even in the event the disrepair claim is successful, the compensation to the tenant will be less than the costs to the solicitors.

This process also delays us from carrying out any necessary repairs.

A member of our team will always be more than happy to show you their ID badge as evidence, and please be wary of anyone impersonating a Council officer.

If you’re not satisfied with how a repair has turned out, please report it to us first. We do our best to get things right first time, but if you’d like us to come back out and take a second look at something, please just get in touch.

Contact our team on 0345 2000 102 if you’ve got anything outstanding or would like to raise a repair.
