A heartfelt commitment to life saving equipment in Ashington

On the same night that many were sharing candlelit dinners, exchanging cards and gifts, and celebrating ‘love’, Ashington Town Council was showing their love for the town, with a heartfelt commitment to life saving equipment.

Back in July, the Council agreed that installing more defibrillators in the town was a project close to its heart. This sentiment was echoed by the town’s County Councillors who did not miss a beat in agreeing to fund the purchase of two each; a total of twelve additional defibrillators for the town.

Seven out of ten people who suffer a cardiac arrest could survive if they received defibrillation and CPR within five minutes. To tackle this ticking clock Cllrs Caroline Ball, Brian Gallacher, Lynne Grimshaw, Jim Lang, Ken Parry and Mark Purvis worked with the Town Council to identify sites that would serve the community well in terms of coverage of this life-saving equipment.

A resounding and well examined rejection of proposed housing off Wansbeck Road

The response of Ashington Town Council to the outline planning application for 186 units on land west of Wansbeck Road, put forward by Banks Group, is a very clear no. The message to Northumberland County Council Planning is that they must uphold their own recently adopted Northumberland Local Plan, which this proposed development is outside of.

Over 130 members of the public attended the Extra-Ordinary Full Council meeting on 7th February, to hear this single agenda item, with several speakers voicing sound material reasons for their objections.
