Both Wylam and Ovingham
Parish Councils have been told about the recent work that has been
undertaken by the Countryside Management Team at Northumberland
County Council. A section of the footpath has become more available
to the public in the area by the Old Pumping Station Buildings. It
means that a path can now be used instead of using the road. The
path is clearly marked and it is hoped to be added to the definitive
map in the future as a public footpath.
Plans are well under
way for a “mini Ovilympics” to be held on 14th July.
As well as this, the Council are keen to celebrate the Queen’s
Diamond Jubilee in early June. If anyone can help in anyway, for
either event, please contact one of the Councillors for more
information.
Two new interactive
speeding units are to be put in place in the village soon in addition
to the existing unit which is moved from one location to another
every six months or so. The poles are already in place and it is
hoped that they will be in operation before the end of May. The
Council managed to get a discount too!
