Calling all gardeners! We have a brilliant new gardening social group launching on Wednesday 22 February at Woodhorn Museum.

The North East Active Travel Strategy aims to ensure that over half of all short journeys in the region will be walked, wheeled or cycled by 2035

A section of Kenilworth Road in #Ashington will be closed to traffic 24/7 from 8am on Mon 9 Jan to 6pm on Fri 27 Jan as part of The Northumberland Line works.

Awards of up to £500 are now available to help support your voluntary group or organisation. 

Northumberland County Council will implement a range of activities designed to improve Ashington town centre, making it more accessible and attractive to residents and visitors.

Further to the pre-planning consultation, the developer, Banks Group, has registered an Outline Planning Application with Northumberland County Council.

This Planning Application will be considered by Ashington Town Council on Tuesday 7th February 2023 (6:00pm), made possible due to an extension being granted by Northumberland County Council Planning Officer.

The Council will call an Extraordinary Full Council meeting, in accordance with our Standing Orders, and following the request of ward Cllrs this is a single item agenda. Although members of the public can engage directly on planning via Northumberland County Council and the link above, many value the Town Council as a conduit for democracy in this process. Ashington Town Council, like others, are a consultee in the process and will agree their response at the meeting.

The formal summons for the meeting will be published 7 days in advance. The meeting is subject to the usual standing orders. The meeting will be held at Bothal Primary School to give greater capacity and accessibility.

Ashington Town Council has set a target of 1500 trees to be planted in 2022/23 in and around the town and we need your help to achieve it.

Although winds and rain came down on the Ashington Christmas lights switch-on.

As part of Ashington’s Christmas activities businesses on Station Road were invited to enter the first ever Christmas Window Display Competition.
