The small numbers after figure labels refer to this key. They show how a figure was made, not how accurate it is. Open any figure to see its source, date and important limits.
Named records from the publisher’s mapped dataset intersecting the official Gateshead settlement outline, including boundary contact.
These are named records in the publisher’s mapped 2021 Nitrate Vulnerable Zones dataset whose polygons intersect this place’s current official mapped settlement outline, including boundary-only contact. This does not mean the whole town or any property is in a zone. NVZ rules concern agricultural land management, not household restrictions or a measurement of nitrate or drinking-water safety. Absence of a listed record is not evidence of clean water. Historical/type and status labels are reproduced without interpreting their current legal force. England only; separate Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish regimes are not represented.
Dataset reference period: 2021. Imported 19 October 2026.
Broadband and mobile connectivity
Ofcom publishes these fixed-broadband, full-fibre take-up and mobile coverage profiles for named local and unitary authorities, rather than for town boundaries. They are shown as wider council-area context for Gateshead; availability figures are provider predictions, not measurements at every address.
These highlights come from complete all-premises and residential broadband profiles, both published full-fibre take-up measures, the complete 2G, 3G, 4G, voice, 5G and standalone-5G network-count profiles, and the premises and grid-pixel counts used as the mobile basis. View every published broadband, full-fibre and mobile value.
