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.

Snow Wardens
Northumberland County Council is introducing a Snow Warden scheme to allow an individual or a group of community volunteers to sign up to help clear snow and ice from public footpaths in their local areas.
A statement on its website says: “By carrying out voluntary snow warden duties you will be helping to keep your community safer during severe winter conditions. In return we will provide you with a snow warden kit which comprises a snow shovel, bag of salt/grit, a thermal hat with a head torch, a pair of thermal gloves and a hi-vis vest.”
For more information and to download an application form, visit the Winter Services page on the Northumberland County Council website, and scroll down to Snow Wardens.
