Northumberland County Council is again inviting residents to order a free tree to plant on their property. There are species available that are suitable for small, medium or large gardens, or for planters. The trees are small cell-grown plants, UK-sourced, and come complete with a biodegradable shelter guard, cane, and detailed planting and after-care instructions. You can order your sapling, and book a date to collect it, using the Free Tree Booking Form on the Northumberland County Council website.

ROWIP Consultation
Northumberland County Council is inviting comments on its ten-year Rights of Way Improvement Plan. This is a statutory document which sets out how Northumberland County Council will identify, prioritise and plan improvements across the PROW network for the the next ten years. You can read the plan and access the survey from the dedicated page on the Northumberland County Council website.
The deadline for comments on the plan is Friday 18 October 2024.
Parish Council Meeting
The next meeting of Carham Parish Council will be on Tuesday 17 September 2024 at 6.30 pm in St Cuthbert’s Church, Carham. You can find the agenda and minutes of previous meetings on our Meetings page. All parishioners are welcome to attend the meeting.
Parishioners questions are answered before the main proceedings of the meeting begin. If you have a question for the Parish Council, please send this to the Parish Clerk in advance of the meeting. This advance notice is needed because it is unlawful for the Parish Council to make a decision without at least three clear days’ notice. The Parish Clerk can ask the question on your behalf or, if you attend the meeting, you can ask your question in person.
Raffle Draw
The draw for Carham Parish Defibs’ Big Summer Raffle will be tomorrow, Saturday 31 August, at 11.00 in Cornhill Village Hall. Doors open at 10.30. Tea, coffee and scones will be available, by donation, and last-minute raffle tickets can be bought before the draw takes place.
After the draw, at about 11.15, there will be a CPR (cardio-pulmonary resuscitation) and defibrillator demonstration. If you live in the parish and you are planning to apply for a public access defibrillator for your community, this is an opportunity to come along and see how these life-saving procedures are carried out, and ask any questions you have about them.
Everyone is welcome to this event, which is expected to finish by 12.00.

Cornhill Village Fair
Carham Parish Defibs will be at Cornhill Village Fair tomorrow, Sunday 28 July, 12.00 to 3.00, to raise money for the parish’s defibrillator fund.

We will also be launching our Big Summer Raffle at the fair. Please come along to support us, if you can!

Next Saturday’s Walk
If you are planning to come on next Saturday’s Footpaths Group walk, please note that the starting point is now the Cornhill Village Hall car park at 10 am. The route has had to be shortened, and will now be 4.5 miles. These changes are because part of the byway from Wark to West Learmouth is too overgrown to attempt. Everyone is welcome on this walk, including well-behaved dogs on leads. For more information, see the poster on our Walks page.
