Announcement on the future of the Northumbria 101 service

Published: 
14 February, 2008

The Northumbria 101 Partnership has expressed disappointment at the end of the 101 non-emergency number service within the Northumberland and Tyne & Wear area.

At a meeting of the 101 Partnership Programme Board today, Thursday, 14th February 2008, the Northumbria Partnership agreed that without continued Home Office funding and given the short period of notification it would not be financially feasible to continue with the 101 service as is, therefore the Northumbria 101 service will cease in it's current form on Monday 31st March 2008.

Information will be provided locally nearer the time by councils and police, with alternative access arrangements to services from the 1st April 2008 onwards.
