STORM ARWEN WINTER PREPAREDNESS MEETINGS

A great Storm Arwen meeting with many parish councils and community groups in Hexham last night. 

My thanks to all who came as we make progress on the significant funding for community resilience locally from Northern Powergrid.

There is funding of up to 20k available for parish councils with a resilience plan for a community hub that requires funding. 

Thanks to parish and community representatives from Allendale, Haydon Bridge, Hexham, Humshaugh, Newbrough, Hexham shire, Slaley & Great Whittington for coming. 

The Great Whittington application for £4,000 for their village hall was approved last night, 2 weeks after application.

We do it all again on Friday in Bellingham.

The dedicated Storm Arwen section of my website has the application form for NPG's community fund and a sign up page for the Bellingham meeting.
