Highways and Transport Priorities

The Parish Council has been asked to identify the top three highways and transport priority issues for the parish. These will be considered for possible inclusion in Northumberland County Council’s annual capital programme of works. When assessing requests, Northumberland County Council will be looking at the reason for the priority (e.g. pedestrian safety, speeding traffic) rather than any proposed solution. Please note that this is a capital funding programme and does not cover routine maintenance work such as pothole-filling or gully cleaning. For more information, or to put forward a request, please contact the Parish Clerk. Requests will be discussed by the Parish Council at its meeting on 11 July.

Her Majesty The Queen

It is with great sadness that Carham Parish Council has learned of the death of our Sovereign, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth.

Parishioners may like to know that St Cuthbert’s church in Carham will remain open for private prayer and reflection. The nearest books of condolence are at Coldstream Library Contact Centre and Kelso Library Contact Centre, and there are books of condolence in Berwick-upon-Tweed at Berwick Library and at Berwick Leisure Centre. A national book of condolence is available to sign online. Floral tributes can be laid as a mark of respect at the Parade Ground at Wallace Green in Berwick-upon-Tweed.

In accordance with protocol and out of respect for the Royal Family, the Parish Council will not be holding its meeting on Tuesday 13 September. This meeting will be arranged for a later date.
