Welcome to the May edition of the Northumberland Line Newsletter.

Ashington Town Councillors have agreed a wealth of activities and summer events for the coming months.

Ashington Town Council welcome their new Administration Assistant, Gary Holmes.

Exciting plans are progressing to redevelop the play areas within the Orchid Meadows Estate, at Epsom Drive and Aintree Close.

Like the racecourses the streets and play areas are named after, we are galloping ahead and have received confirmation from our play partner Kompan that they will be installed in advance of the summer holidays.

The great news on these play areas is that they have been developed in consultation with local people, they feature accessible equipment, and Kompan’s Greenline range has been chosen, confirming the Council’s commitment to taking action to reduce the effects of climate change.

The Annual Meeting of the Council was held last night, and the Council elected members to specific roles.

Elected as follows: Business Chair - Cllr Mark Purvis. Vice Business Chair - Cllr Marjorie Chambers. Civic Head - Cllr Victor Bridges. Deputy Civic Head - Cllr Vicki Brown. Leader - Cllr John Tully. Deputy Leader - Cllr Louis Brown.
