Today the Village Trust was awarded a Silver Gilt Medal certificate at the Northumbria in Bloom awards ceremony, held at the Stadium of Light in Sunderland.
Thank you to all the volunteers, residents, businesses and the junior school who helped us achieve this award.

Over 100 people visited the King’s Head Social Club today to look at the County Council’s exhibition. The Council had selected and produced detailed, costed proposals for 5 of the 17 suggestions put forward at the Village Trust open meeting last October.
The Village Trust had been pre-consulted about the 5 schemes which were discussed at its Open meeting in June. If you wish to read the Trust’s response, take a look at their S106 information sheet.
Funding of £125,000 is being provided in relation to the housing development on the hospital site.
