A LONG-SERVING custodian of Newcastle's Town Moor and a former council leader are to be given the city’s highest honour.

- DANIEL HOLLAND

Councillors have agreed to award the Freedom of Newcastle to Town Moor superintendent Kevin Batey and former Newcastle Lib Dem leader David Faulkner.

They will join the likes of Sir Bobby Robson, Sir Brendan Foster and current Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe in receiving the ceremonial honour.

At a full council meeting this week, politicians were told that Mr Batey had dedicated his entire 40-year career to protecting the beloved green space at the heart of Newcastle, having started as a 16-year-old in 1985 as a tractor and spadesman.
