Remembrance Sunday

October 31, 2021

There will be a short Act of Remembrance in St. Cuthbert’s Church, Church Bank on Sunday 14th November.

A warm invitation to any to gather at 10.50am in church, with a two minute silence at 11am.

The regular Eucharist will move to the earlier time of 9.30am on Remembrance Sunday.

All are welcome.

There will also be an Act of Remembrance at 3pm at the Memorial Cottages on Front Street.

This year is also the Centenary of the Cottages, which were erected in memory of men from the neighbourhood who fell in the First World War.

The Shotley Bridge War Memorial Cottages Trust took it in hand to save the buildings and in 1992 the cottages were refurbished.

Derwent Valley Car Club Survey

March 8, 2021

The Derwent Valley Car Club is a community-based car club, set up by Blackhall Mill Community Association. The pay-as-you-go electric car club offers hourly and daily rates, with no mileage fees and full insurance cover. Thanks to funding from Innovate UK, they plan to install a double EV charge point in Shotley Bridge. The new EV charge point will be available for residents, the public and members of the Car Club.

They are seeking resident, visitor and business views on the location of the charge point, information on Electric Vehicles and potential demand for the car club. They have prepared a short survey which the Village Trust is helping to publicise.

If you are a local resident or regularly visit the village centre please spare 5 minutes to fill in the online survey, before 21 March.

Find out more about the Derwent Valley Car Club.

Shotley Bridge Hospital Services

February 4, 2021

The County Durham CCG is planning the next round of public engagement on what services are to be provided at Shotley Bridge Hospital.   

In order to arrange an appropriate number of sessions, they are trying to understand the levels of interest in each of the following service areas:

  • Chemotherapy / Medical Investigations
  • Outpatients (including Therapies, Women’s services, Community care, primary care and Minor surgery)
  • Inpatient Rehabilitation beds
  • Urgent Care (including diagnostics)
  • Well-being services (including group spaces and opportunities for the voluntary sector)

If you are interested in participating in an online discussion about any of these topics follow this link to sign up for the event and say which sessions you wish to attend. [before Thursday 11th February.] 

They want to be able to make sure that participants are able to engage as fully as possible in the conversations in each of the sessions and therefore would hope to have groups that aren’t too large.


They will then get back in touch with you once they have confirmed the programme, which will likely take place throughout March.
