The town of Ashington is calling on all residents to show their love for their community by reducing waste, reusing items, and recycling properly.
Recent figures show fly-tipping is on the rise, with a whopping 115 tonnes of illegally dumped rubbish spread over nearly 2,000 incidents in the last financial year ☹️ Not to mention an astounding 326 tonnes of general litter in public bins and found littering our streets, despite the tireless efforts of volunteers and the NCC Local Services Team who litter pick. It’s hard to imagine that amount of rubbish - we hope our infographic below helps.
Ashington Town Council will observe a period of mourning following the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Council meetings will not be held or called during this period, as a mark of respect and in adherence to the statutory days’ notice required for Council meetings.
See our video at the Memorial Garden below.
The Finance and General Services Committee meeting, scheduled for Tuesday 13th September, will not be held. This will be called when permitted.
The Ashington Hirst Celebratory Bowls Cup, scheduled for Sunday 11th September, will not be held, alternative arrangements will be updated when agreed.
The Ashington Garden Presentation scheduled for Wednesday 14th September, will not be held, alterative arrangements will be prepared.
Normal work will continue, Members and Officers will observe the period of mourning and will go about their business with the upmost sensitivity and respect.
