How to get a formal collision extract from Newcastle upon Tyne
The council's road safety or traffic team holds the full police records for its area.

Developers, consultants and solicitors usually pay for it.
Check Newcastle upon Tyne's website for current fees, or contact its road safety team. Councils usually charge for extracts and send a quote before they start.
