There was no Parish Council meeting in
August but the next meeting is on 20th September.
Following the recent floods, meetings
have been held, on site, between some of our Councillors, residents
and representatives from the authorities concerned such as NWater,
Northumberland County Council and the Environment Agency. Progress
appears to have been made for Dene Garth area with local landowners
agreeing to carry out some recommendations made by the environment
agency.
Following on from the recent success of
the Ovilympics, it is hoped that this can be repeated next year.
Ovingham Parish Council is extremely grateful for all the hard work
by Councillor Holden and his large group of volunteers and
appreciates that the event could not have taken place without them.
Well done to everyone concerned!
Work is to be started soon on
addressing some of the untidy areas of the village such as strimming
back brambles etc at the top of Horsley Road and by Piper Road and
also repairing fencing by North Meadows and Sunningdale Bungalow
area. The Churchyard also needs tidying up and ivy removed from the
walls.
