    VOLUNTEERS NEEDED.
    COMMUNITY LITTER PICK, 6.30PM TUESDAY 21ST JULY, FRONT STREET.
    To support the great efforts of the Bedlington in Bloom team we are helping them organise a community litter pick to clean the place up in readiness for the visit of the Britain in Bloom judges next wednesday.
    If you can spare a little time to help out we would be grateful.
    Volunteers please meet at the Market Place at 6.30pm where you will be directed to the areas to clear.

     

  2. New Millfield restaurant in Bedlington. I know. We r looking for somewhere to eat this weekend and I fancied the Millfield, but I couldn't find any info. I might mention the lack of advertisement if we go.

    I think this is putting us off going too - wouldn't mind seeing some info about before we decide - very puzzling

  3. Given that Blyth Cramlington and Ashington have Asda stores already, would regulations allow another one in Bedlington? Didn't we have this issue with Morrisons when they bought out Safeway? It could reduce the choice(?) we have at present, leaving Tesco with free reign on pricing.

  4. I thought it was all too rehearsed and neat and I don't think it was really a debate but more of a chance for all 3 leaders to give well-planned statements. I really hate 'sound-bite-speak!' And why bother with an audience at all if they aren't allowed to respond to anything? A bit of an anti-climax, I'm afraid.

  5. We went to Gatehouse of Fleet in Dumfries and Galloway on holiday and they've done a similar thing to the original example. The turbine is sited on a farm. The farm is paid rent in the form of electricity and the town takes its share. The surplus is taken up by the national grid and any profits are put back into the local area to provide leisure facilities etc. They also had a leisure centre which was paid for, through huge amounts of fundraising, and built by the people in the town (Kirkcudbright. Some good examples to look at.
