Northumberland County Council’s Climate Change Team has arranged an event to gather different perspectives about how everyone can work together to reach the County’s carbon neutral targets. Our nearest event is being held at Blyth on Wednesday 16th November 2022, from 6:00pm until 7:30pm, and tickets can be booked via eventbright, using the link provided.

The competition has again proved that Ashington has some outstanding gardeners.  This year’s entries were judged by gardening expert Mr Bob Bell, Ashington’s world champion leek grower, and Mr Chris Lang, a previous winner of the garden competition.

Plans for sustainable planting started back in March 2022. We are delighted that 6-months later we can enjoy the fruits of some very hard labour.

Planting on Station Road is lush, green and eye catching. It will change throughout the seasons. We hope that everyone will recognise and enjoy the changes, especially the young people who designed the signage, and helped convey the message of sustainable planting back in July.

As people drive into Ashington, our gateway features have impact, and we are very proud of the finished results.
