The next meeting of Carham Parish Council will be on Tuesday 9 July 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 meeting proceedings begin. If you have a question for the Parish Council, please send this to the Parish Clerk in advance of the meeting.

The Parish Clerk can ask the question on your behalf or, if you attend the meeting, you can ask your question in person.

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.

There is information about both on the Northumberland County Council website, with links to other websites for further details.
