Ashington Town Council is proud to announce it has awarded £82,521 to 20 outstanding local organisations through its Annual Grants Scheme, demonstrating the Council’s unwavering commitment to supporting the incredible network of voluntary and community groups that make our town such a special place to live.
Following a comprehensive review by councillors and officers, this year’s annual grants programme has funded an impressive range of initiatives - from youth sports and creative arts to emergency food provision and specialist support services - ensuring vital funding reaches where it’s needed most.
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.
