Voting on 1 May

A reminder that you need to take photo ID with you when you go to vote on Thursday 1 May. This could be a UK or Northern Ireland photocard driving licence (full or provisional), a UK passport, a Blue Badge, or an older person’s or disabled person’s bus pass. For the full list of ID documents that will be accepted at the polling station, go to the Photo ID You’ll Need page on the UK Government website. Only the original document will be accepted; not a photograph, an image on a phone or a photocopy. If you need further information, contact the Northumberland County Council elections team.

Coming Up This Sunday

As we hope you know by now, we are holding a car boot sale plus classic car and bike show at Carham farm steading on Sunday 16 July. Admission is £3, with children under 12 free of charge, and the event opens at 9 am. Soft drinks, teas and coffees and burgers will be on sale for those who come along a bit later in the morning, and the event will wind up in the early afternoon. This event is to raise money for life-saving public-access defibrillators for communities throughout the parish. Please show your support by coming along. And if you’d like to help us raise more money, we’d welcome any fresh garden produce that you can spare, your fresh home baking, home-made preserves or any small plants that you’d like to donate. All of these will be sold on our plant and produce stall, with 100% of the proceeds going to the defibrillator fund. You can bring them along on the day, or we can collect from within the parish. Contact us for more information.
