Makes tracks for Tyneside region, passing information on here? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

headstone

'passing information on here?' is the definition.
(information about someone's death or passing)

'makes tracks for tyneside' is the wordplay.
'makes tracks' becomes 'heads' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'for' becomes 'to' (eg both can mean 'in the opinion of').
'tyneside' becomes 'ne' (region in North East of England).
'heads'+'to'+'ne'='HEADSTONE'

'region' acts as a link.
This may not be right. It may belong to another bit of the clue.

(Other definitions for headstone that I've seen before include "Slab set at the head of a grave" , "Graveyard slab" , "It marks a grave" , "Memorial on a grave" , "Grave marker" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
