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.
Margaret Davenport
Clerk to Ovingham Parish Council
