ASHINGTON TOWN COUNCIL IS SEEKING a Seasonal Neighbourhood Services Operative who will work alongside the permanent Neighbourhood Services Officer (NSO) to deliver Ashington Town Council’s neighbourhood services programme during the high-season period from June to October. The post exists because the Council’s programme during this period — particularly the sustainable bed maintenance across six wards, the seasonal planters and hanging baskets programme, and grounds maintenance — cannot be delivered within the permanent NSO’s working week alone.
This is a full-time, fixed term role from June to October, LC1 (SCP6), paying above the living wage rate of pay at £13.47/hour.
Speed Monitoring
The Town Council purchased movable Speed Indicator Devices (SID) in 2018 with two aims; firstly, to educate drivers of speed limits and remind them not to speed, and secondly to be able to collect reliable speed data to quantify speeding issues. SIDs have been proven to be effective at enforcing speed limits as many drivers don’t realise, they are going too fast.
The SID displays the speed a driver is driving (up to a limit to discourage people trying to see how high they can go) and a message to slow down. It is mounted on lamp columns or street signs, and we work with Northumberland County Councils Highways to determine suitable locations.
