Linden Stephenson 01434682671 will be happy to offer advice as we ask for a team of village and beyond volunteers to eradicate Himalayan balsam on the marchburn on Wednesday 30th June - wellies needed as the Tyne Rivers Trust wishes us to concentrate on over the footbridge bridge past the weir to the wellington pub – so come and exterminate the plant that is shallow rooted but very prolific along the water’s edges.

Update -- Monday Coffee mornings are back on but due to social distance issues we cannot recommence the Fridays for coffee as there already is a class booked into the parish Hall at 10am -- BUT maybe just maybe as we move forward in June this can be restarted and we can meet up twice a week almost as before-we are wondering about a different day?? Please feel free to message me if another day would suit—taking votes on it now.
Roadworks near the Wellington pub are due this month to install a Zebra Crossing as a traffic calming measure in the village.
