Parish News - October 2015
Two new notice boards have been erected in the village. One is by
the entrance to the playing fields (Windsor Crescent) and the other
on Bewick Lane, opposite the entrance to North Meadows. I am sure
they will be well used as there is usually so much going on in the
village.
Although results have been obtained following the recent speed monitoring, the Parish Council have asked that a further one be carried out after the bridge has re-opened and then the data will be analysed.
A fence has been place by the stepping stones and work will be carried out to refurbish/repair the millennium bench which has been damaged.
The next Parish Council meeting is on 15th October at 7.15pm.

Parish News - August 2015
The recent vacancy on the Parish Council has been filled by Ian
Campbell who will be officially co-opted at the September meeting. Ian
has lived in the village for many years and I am sure, is well known
to many of you. Thanks also go to the other resident who expressed
interest – unfortunately on this occasion he was not successful,
but it is good to see people come forward.
Speed monitoring should have taken place this month in the village although it may be some time before the results have been passed on.
Arrangements are in hand for new notice boards (which may well be in place by the time you read this).
September also sees the Parish Council looking at options to include on the Local transport Plan for 2016-2017. In the past, this has included a path from Ovington as well as improving the road.
The next Parish Council meeting is on 17th September at 7.15pm.

Parish News - July 2015
The Parish Council is looking to employ a “handy person” on a
casual basis. This will be for general tidying up around the village
– sweeping, weeding etc. Please contact the Clerk or any Councillor
for further information.
In preparation for the Ice and Fire Flower Festival this month, planters will be placed near The Hill, the Reading Room and Church entrance.
Some interest has been received for the Parish Councillor vacancy. This will be discussed at the next meeting and hopefully, someone will be co-opted shortly.
The Home Group Housing have been contacted regarding recent graffiti on the tarmac and ground maintenance in the Bewick Lane area and following a site visit with residents and Councillor Jordon, action will be taken.
The next meeting will be on 16th July at 7.15pm in the Reading Room. There will be no meeting in August.

Parish News - June 2015
Cllr Jordon was re-elected Chair of the Parish Council at the May
meeting and Ian Heslop, Vice Chair. A vacancy has arisen on the
Parish Council as a result of the resignation of Christine Hewitt due
to other commitments. Although she had not been a Councillor for
very long, her input has been very much appreciated. Please contact
the Clerk, or any of the other (7) Councillors if you would like to
know more about what is involved in the role of a Parish Councillor.
By now, you will be aware that the bridge will not re-open until the end of October at the earliest.
Quotes are still being sought for notice boards. Speed monitoring by the Police has been requested although no further details has been received yet. Following a meeting at the lay by on the Wylam Road, proposals have been agreed to place large boulders at the back of the entrance to discourage fly tipping. Damaged kerbstones have been reported and the blocked drains on the Wylam Road.
The next Parish Council meeting is on 16th July at 7.15pm.
