The town of Ashington is calling on all residents to show their love for their community by reducing waste, reusing items, and recycling properly.
Recent figures show fly-tipping is on the rise, with a whopping 115 tonnes of illegally dumped rubbish spread over nearly 2,000 incidents in the last financial year ☹️ Not to mention an astounding 326 tonnes of general litter in public bins and found littering our streets, despite the tireless efforts of volunteers and the NCC Local Services Team who litter pick. It’s hard to imagine that amount of rubbish - we hope our infographic below helps.
Should you wish to lay flowers during the period of mourning, you may do so at Ashington Memorial Garden, off Kenilworth Road, NE63 8DD (opposite Ashington Cricket Club). Please be conscious of others and ensure safe access to and from the gardens.
We kindly ask that you remove any form of wrapping from the flowers before laying them as flowers will be composted when removed.
Please be mindful that respectful protocol requires flowers to be removed at the end of the mourning period, which may be the day after the funeral.
There are locations for the laying of floral tributes throughout Northumberland. These are listed in the attached link, and all ask that people laying flowers remove any cellophane to help protect the environment.
