WBTC Youth Voice.

By Malcolm Robinson, in News,

West Bedlington Town Council have always been keen to listen to resident views and as part of that interaction decided to set up a Youth Council so the views, hopes and aspirations of our younger community members could also be given a voice.
Commissioning Leading Link to facilitate this new improvement in community interaction the Mayor and Deputy Mayor have been working closely with the younger members of this new group and both agree what a fantastic bunch of youngsters we have here! 
One of the first real tasks was to get them to produce lists of their wants and needs as far as developing the Town goes.  Not only did we get lists off them personally they also petitioned all of their schools too, so now we have a very in depth directory based on popularity of choice. 
 
WBTC is pleased to welcome this new addition to our representative process and we are looking forward to the presentation they will be giving us on February 9th, 4.30-6.00pm at Bedlington Community Centre. 
We welcome any adults keen to see what our children would like to show us!

When is a Paws Permanent?

By threegee, in News,

It's perhaps a good thing that Mary Weightman isn't around to witness the demise of her life's work, because that's exactly what's now happening!  The Bedlington-based PAWS (People's Animal Welfare Service) is finally shunting up shop due to lack of funding.  PAWS has faltered before: lastly in 1982, when it took two years of fund-raising and the support of notable local people before the valuable project could resume.  But, right now, there sounds to be an eerie finality descending on the sixty one year-old initiative.
Sheilah and Graham Johnstone have been involved in the charity since the mid 1990's and took over the reins when Mary died in 2005.  They've made brave and creditable attempts to meet the rising costs of medicines in recent months.  But, despite welcome support from Bedlintonians, these efforts have fallen well short of securing the circa £1400 a month very necessary to keep PAWS going.
There's always hope that someone will step in to save PAWS, but it will likely need to be someone who's more familiar with social media and modern fund-raising methods.  Bedlington.co.uk would desperately like to help here and offers its free services in any way possible, together with some limited funding.  If you feel that you can help too then now is surely the time to speak up!
