Operating out of Wooler and Haydon Bridge, their services are invaluable to many residents in north Northumberland and in west Northumberland/Tynedale.

The River Breamish Riverbank Protection project began in August 2019 and anyone who’s kept abreast of developments will likely know that one of the final stages of the project was to lay some coir matting at Site 1 (what I’ve referred to as the ‘whirlpool’ previously). This can be seen in some nice aerial shots taken by Tweed Forum.
Owing to the coronavirus pandemic, Ingram Village Hall (in keeping with other local village halls, including Breamish Hall and Bolton Village Hall) closed its doors to visitors and user groups.
As most local people know, the Powburn Show is the first of the annual Cheviot Sheep & Horticultural Shows. But, of course, owing to the coronavirus pandemic, it had to be cancelled this year, along with all other country fayres (including the Ingram Show).

Well, after all the seeming drabness of lockdown, even the skies are beginning to reward us with their colours.
Great news for all parents and children…at the July 2020 Quarterly Meeting of Hedgeley Parish Council on Wednesday 22 July 2020, it was agreed that the Powburn Play Area could now re-open.
Following an appropriate risk assessment in the light of recent UK Government guidelines, the Powburn Play Area will open as from Saturday 25 July 2020. With due consideration to the safety of children, their guardians and local residents the following conditions will apply until further notice.
