On Saturday 6th September, Ashington came together to celebrate love, diversity, and community at the Pride Family Picnic in Hirst Park, delivered in partnership between Pride Action North and Ashington Town Council.
Running from 12 noon to 3pm, the picnic created a safe and welcoming space for LGBTQIA+ people, families, and allies to celebrate together. Despite an unexpected challenge when a car accident temporarily blocked the park entrance, the event still drew 308 attendees — with 258 people actively joining in activities and an impressive 71 young people getting involved.
The General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") took effect in the UK from 25 May 2018. It replaced the existing law on data protection (the Data Protection Act 1988) and gives individuals more rights and protection regarding how their personal data is used by councils. Local Council's must comply with its requirements, just like any other organisation.
GDPR applies to all local councils as public authorities.
