Support the Cumberland Arms
I fully support the local lobby that the new housing (at the top of Byker Banksy) should not negatively effect the excellent live music outside the The Cumberland Arms. Birthdays, weddings and Funerals everyone comes to the Cumberland to enjoy the crack.
I hope the new houses are well insulated and that the residents take an interest in the Valley.
Support Live Music!
