West Bedlington Town Council are celebrating the award of two prestigious national awards to green spaces within its area. The Green Flag award scheme which recognises the best green spaces in the country has been awarded to both Doctor Pit Park and Plessy Woods Country Park. The Green Flag Award® scheme is the benchmark national standard for parks and green spaces in the UK, a site flying a Green Flag is a high quality green space which can only be a boost to its popularity. These awards come on the back of recent awards for other green spaces in Bedlington. Gallagher Park has been awarded Queen Elisabeth II status and is a winner of the "Fields of Trust" award. Over £25k of funding has been secured to improve and update the park. Attlee Park has been awarded funding to improve the bandstand and immediate area with plans to secure additional funding for a new access footpath. Building on the strength of these excellent awards the sites were included in the Town Councils application to Northumbria in Bloom. A judging panel recently visited the sites along with other green spaces and floral displays in Bedlington. The results of the entry are due to be announced at the end of September. Looking forward the Council would like to invite any interested parties, individuals, groups or organisations to help plan their submission for next year's Northumbria in Bloom award. The Council would like to involve local residents, businesses, clubs and other voluntary organisations in the planning and organisation process by setting up a steering group specifically with this award in mind. Any interested parties should contact the West Bedlington Town Council office for further details. You can telephone the office on 01670 457070 or e mail westbedligtontowncouncil@gmail.com -
Shamelessly ripped off another site but well worth the read. Tell your boss you want him to make you his subcontractor. If he agrees set up your own shell company and get paid monthly GROSS no deductions for taxes or National Insurance. Next get together and form your very own HMRC approved Pension Trust put all your gross receipts into it and BORROW enough each month to cover your living expenses paying your borrowing interest at 1% to your pension fund. Result NO TAXES NO NI An immediate tax free income because you don't pay tax on borrowings just like Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Walmart, Starbucks etc. and just like 2500 civil servants. You have with little effort legally given yourself a 25% pay increase!

"Midway was designated an overlay National Wildlife Refuge on April 22, 1988 while still under the primary jurisdiction of the Navy. From August 1996, the general public could visit the atoll through study ecotours.[17] This program ended in 2002,[18] but another visitor program was approved and began operating in March 2008.[8][19] This program operated through 2012, but was suspended for 2013 due to budget cuts.[20] On October 31, 1996, President Bill Clinton signed Executive Order 13022, which transferred the jurisdiction and control of the atoll to the United States Department of the Interior. The FWS assumed management of the Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge. The last contingent of Navy personnel left Midway on June 30, 1997 after an ambitious environmental cleanup program was completed."

"As part of the Base Realignment and Closure process, the Navy facility on Midway has been operationally closed since September 10, 1993, although the Navy assumed responsibility for cleaning up environmental contamination at Naval Air Facility Midway Island."

Is that a 1981 Moscovitch? What a car, about a ton and a half with cable brakes! Might as well of thrown a rope with a blacksmith's anvil attached out of the window. They lasted that long I never sold a set of brake shoes for them. Dealership along the Morpeth road at Guidepost.

As daft as it seems the fuel, wooden pellets, for this biomass will be coming from CANADA????????? Where is one of the largest forest in Europe? At their open day they did say there would be £100K PA for community benefit, I do hope someone got RES to write that down!

You should have attended the planning enquiry held in the Community Centre. It was like a comedy of errors and all on the side of the planning department! The only good thing to come out was that Dystart didn't ask for costs or the public purse would have had to pay for their very expensive London lawyer and his entourage! At the end of the day because of several mistakes and errors by the planning department the judge had no other recourse than to award Dystart full planning for their original application, or the one which they put it as an opening salvo and one they would have negotiated on!

Its got planning permission for 9 houses Eileen.

There would seem one small problem tomtom.............even though this was promised it isn't actually happened as yet?????????????? Plus one of the 'traders' spilt a can of paint on the stone flags last week! The Town council have been TOLD to keep out of it, NCC are going to sort it. Personally I can't see why the second-hand traders can't be relocated (there is obviously a call for their stuff) and a much more proactive stance taken with regard to getting 'quality' traders back in our main market.

Ahem..........

King Æthelred II might not agree Maggie!
