February 12, 201412 yr Hi everyone, just to let you all know Bedlingtonshire Chamber Of Trade has disbanded.
February 13, 201412 yr Lack of interest and new membership. Yes, unarguably, apathy rules. But there's still a lot of people rooting for Bedlington, even if quite a few of those have already voted with their feet, often through necessity!Tragic when anyone/thing gives up. Even more tragic to burden new generations with a defeatist mindset. I believe the BDT can more than make up for this, and it deserves everyone's full support.
February 15, 201412 yr It is disappointing to see the Chamber of Trade fold, and perhaps I could have done my bit and joined, but a quick look down the Front Street is enough clue as to why there was little interest. Unless you are a hairdresser or beautician it seems there is no business for you in the town. I would, I suppose, have felt something of a charlatan as most of my business is from overseas sources.
February 16, 201412 yr Or a tattooist, Merc. How on Earth does Bedlington support two tattoo parlours?
February 16, 201412 yr Author how does it support so may estate agents if there is a lack of housing in Bedlington like what the county council says there is.
February 17, 201412 yr Or a tattooist, Merc. How on Earth does Bedlington support two tattoo parlours? Given the high rents I have no idea. The estate agents question is easy - not all the houses they sell are in Bedlington, and the commission they make is colossal.
