The parish council administer the Newcastle side, whereas the area located in North Tyneside is unparished.

Much of the Newcastle Great Park development is within the area administered by the Hazlerigg Parish Council.

Located in the village is a post office,[1] a fish & chip shop, a beauty salon, a hairdresser, a garage, a convenience store and a social club that is now open under new management.

A large area of the surrounding land is now the Havannah Nature Reserve to the south of Coach Lane.

The village nature of Hazlerigg is threatened by the encroaching Newcastle Great Park development to the south, built on what was formerly Green Belt land.
