Residents in Ashington’s Haydon Ward will have noticed some smart new additions to Newbiggin Road and Black Close Bank, where five modern bench seats have recently been installed as part of a ward improvement initiative led by Ashington Town Council’s Haydon Ward Councillors Marjorie Chambers, David Coyle, and John Tully.
We have added links to each group, where available. Clicking on the link will open, in a new window, either their website or Facebook page.
