The Town Council bought them...........

My pleasure this morning to give the lasses who are the Friends of West Lea Cemetery their newest award, off our friends at Bedlington.co.uk. This is the 2023 Piper award and given a lot of members on that site are ex-pats it’s nice to know they still keep up with current going-ons in Bedlington. Given in recognition of someone or a group who have made outstanding efforts in the Town over the last year, a well-deserved award. Well done girls.........

Eggy, Champion. Ill see what it’s like when I print it out.

Eggy, Can you do them a certificate? I think they might want to hang it up in their base.

I think there is a guide Vic but the cemetery managers have it. Don’t see why it can’t be put on the building? I have just advised some people looking for their family plot to get in touch with them so it would be handy. There are other upgrades coming soon and an expansion.

Excellent suggestion Eggy.............In effect just two lasses spending all their free time helping to make the cemetery somewhere everyone can be proud of. They are currently making Xmas wreaths and all money raised is spent in the cemetery. BTW, Look out for a huge revamp at the Garden of Remembrance and the path behind!

Aye he takes a canny snap!

Now if we had said that Canny lass!!!!!😂😂😂

Ticket office Vic? They are trying to close all but a handful across the country.

The problem is that we have never had any of the Town Centre Improvement funding or the Levelling up stuff or the High Street funding! We have had some 'Get building' funding with match funding off NCC but really thats all that it gets done! We are in the Boarderlands pot but thats across the whole area. We really need NCC to champion and promote Bedlington specifically, to get into the larger pots but for some reason????

I put the proposed map up on my page................ Doesn't look good for us to me!

Thanks forv that canny lass. Sounds like you guys were pretty well prepared anyway. One thing which most have missed, as you point out, the peak flattens to make available resources like health cover able to cope at the cost of extending the situation. It's far from over....

My daughter tells me it's very strict in France too.
