Such an impressive location.

Ideal for a Miners Picnic!

[Maggie/915]

Woodhorn Miners Picnic was a brilliant day it seems!

I remember similar days here in Bedlington.

The County Archives used to be at Meldon Park and the room for research was named after our very own Ellen Mitchell.

Now it is Ashington that is the hub.

Swimming in a healthy open air pool at Humford, now where do we go Ashington.

Large supermarkets that are built and rebuilt where do we go Ashington.

My wish list would be somewhere here in Bedlington.

Morpeth County Hall set to be relocated guess where Ashington

PFI rules I guess and who pays that is the question.

Positivity would be great anyone got any ideas.

I would love our councillors with the majority vote to invest some thought into congratulating Bedlington and bringing some important development to our dear town.

Iron Works , Church, leisure pool etc

Not just heritage initiative but everyone working together.

Clear up the Main Street of half finished developments and accept that there is a wonderful opportunity for everyone.

It all used to be so different and could be again.

BACK To The FUTURE

Couldn't have put that one better myself Maggie,

                                                                               but its not just the councillors with the majority vote who need a cracker up their a*ses  Unfortunately our MP doesn't appear to give us any help here in Bedlington, if you look at where the investment is going ie  Supermarket, Sports Centre and most likely NCC headquarters they will all come within a three mile radius of Ashington Football Club. Only way to beat them is at the Ballot Box.

[Maggie/915]

Sadly it seems fight or flight .

The ballet box could change things, but do enough people care.

I think there is a will to change and that there are so many people old and new to Bedlington who will bring about that change .

I do accept I may be too optimistic .

Our elected leaders often do not see past their own narrow viewpoint and Bedlington gets no investment .

I know we are all NCC and I love Northumberland but when you think what we had in the past it seems unfair to not attempt to flag up the basic facts.

Bedlington has an unrivalled Main Street that was always seen as special..

Meetings that end up congratulating Ashington or Woodhorn, I am not against but that does not help unless we accept six townships and we are just a satellite of Ashington,

The Big Event gets a great write up in the Journal today by reporter Linda Cameron.

The whole thing was filmed by The beautiful image.

Well done to all concerned !

Thanks for all of your kind words, everyone! We're delighted with how the event went!

 

Great write up in the local papers this week - and hope to have a video of the event up courtesy of TBI very soon.
