Speed visor volunteers

May 20, 2010

Members of the community are being invited by Durham Constabulary to assist the Neighbourhood team in tackling the problem of speeding vehicles in Shotley Bridge. Volunteers will help use a speed visor to check vehicle speeds and note down registrations of speeding vehicles. The police will then send warning letters to offending motorists.

If anyone is interested in joining the Volunteers scheme I can forward your details to the police who are looking at sorting out a rota for use of the speed visor.

Alternatively, come along to the Trust’s next Open Meeting on June 17th and sign up there.

Blooming meeting

March 24, 2010

The ‘Blooming Shotley Bridge’ group’ held a walkabout in the village today to decide on the boundary for the Britain in Bloom Neighbourhood Award, for which the Village Trust intends to register.

It was also looking at potential sites for improvement within the Conservation Area.

The ‘Shotley Bridge’ entry signs on the River Derwent Bridge, on the A691 near Shotley Grove Road and on the A694 near the Spa Grounds are to be used to define the extent of the neighbourhood, but whether to go beyond Snows Green as far as Elm Park has still to be decided.

Photographs, for display at the next open meeting of the Trust, are to be taken of the potential sites that could be improved or planted with bulbs and flowers. An action plan and funding will need to be discussed at the next meeting of the group.
