Public health funerals data

We have a duty to dispose of a deceased body under the provisions of the National Assistance and Public Health (Control of Disease) Acts 1948, if the person who died has no assets or if there are no relatives who can make funeral arrangments.
Hospitals and care homes may also be able to help if the person dies while in their care. Initial contact is usually through the Coroner.
If the next of kin is known, contact will be made to establish if they will accept responsability. Legal responsability for married couples rests with the spouse, and for children it rests with the parents.
We will provide a basic funeral and will not pay for the following:

  Notice in newspapers.
  Flowers.
  Transport.

Where no one is prepared to accept responsability for the funeral, we will require details of the deceased assets and reciver the costs if there are sufficient funds available.
If known, the deceased's wishes wll be observed, for example, cremation as opposed to burial. However, if burial is undertaken it will be an un-purchased grave therefore no headstone can be erected.
A list of Public Health funerals arranged by Newcastle City Council is listed on this website. 
Below is our listed funerals data dating up to December 2016.

Newcastle City's open space

The amount and the quality of the City’s open space, greenery, and other recreation facilities is crucial to its liveability, and the health and well-being of residents and visitors. 
These facilities provide areas for active and passive recreation as well as greenery and visual relief in the urban area. It is vitally important therefore that the City Council protects and improves the existing stock of open spaces, and requires the creation of new spaces associated with new development.

Payments over £250 made by Newcastle City Council

Newcastle City Council believes it is important to be open about how we spend money. Each month we will publish a list of all payments we make which are over £250 (including VAT), showing who we paid, how much we paid, and what this was for. Note that prior to october 2012, published payments included those over £500.
This will include:

  All items we purchase
  Payments we make to contractors carrying out work on our behalf.
  Other spend we incur in carrying out our business.

What will be excluded:

  Payments made to staff.
  Housing benefit payments.
  Sensative social services information whixh could put vulnerable individuals at risk.
  Personal information, such as the names of individuals receiving payments.
  Confidential information, such as council tax or business rate refund.

We will regularly review the way we classify information to make sure that the process is as accurate as possible.
Relevant Committee reports
These are provided at the bottom with the rest of our reports.
Monthly spending reports
The reports are available in both comma delimited format (CSV) and portable format (PDF) and are listed by month below. There are a number of supplier names within the attached documents where the name has been replaced by the following text, 'Redacted Personal Data'. This follows government guidlines where a payment has been made to an individual but the publication of the individuals name may contravene the data protection act. Examples of these types of payments include (but are not limited to) adult social care payments and payments to foster carers.

Sediment flux at geomorphically different salt marsh sites of Caerlaverock, Scotland, 2023

[This dataset is embargoed until December 31, 2026]. This dataset contains sediment deposition and suspended sediment data which were sampled at one eroding and one prograding salt marsh tidal creek at Caerlaverock, Scotland in 2023. Water level recordings were taken from pressure loggers attached to the suspended sediment samplers in the tidal creek. Reference sediment samples were taken from the salt marsh and adjacent mudflat. Data were collected to determine if sediment deposition onto salt marsh flat from the tidal creeks is different depending on the erosional/accretional state of the salt marsh. Full details about this dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5285/c95cda7e-926e-45d0-b49b-1ea862e4fbbd

Land use and land cover data of the Indian Ganges Brahmaputra Meghna Delta, 1990-2021

[This dataset is embargoed until December 31, 2026]. The Indian Sundarban delta, part of the Sundarbans in West Bengal, exhibits diverse land use and land cover including dense mangroves, tidal creeks, mudflats, agricultural fields, aquaculture ponds, and settlements. LULC data supports monitoring of coastal erosion, salinity intrusion, cyclone impacts, and ecosystem-based management planning. Land Use-Land Cover (LULC) data for the years 1990, 1998, 2000, 2008, 2010, 2019, and 2021 were prepared using satellite imagery downloaded from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) EarthExplorer portal. Appropriate Landsat sensors corresponding to each time period were selected to ensure data consistency and availability. Landsat 5 Thematic Mapper (TM) images were used for 1990, 1998, and 2000, while Landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) data were used for 2008 and 2010. For recent years, 2019 and 2021 were a derived product of ESRI land use land cover open source data All images were selected with minimal cloud cover and downloaded as Level-1 products. Pre-processing steps included radiometric correction, atmospheric correction, layer stacking, and subsetting to the study area. Subsequently, supervised classification using training samples was conducted to generate LULC maps. The classified outputs were then validated and reclassified into consistent land-cover categories to enable temporal comparison and change detection across the selected years. Full details about this dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5285/6f56ad04-c622-49f9-9326-386f17dcd44a
