August 18, 2013

Following discussions at the last three Village Trust Open Meetings, Durham County Council are holding a wider Consultation Event on Tuesday 10th September 2013 at the King’s Head Social Club between 3 and 7pm.

This ‘Drop In’ event is in relation to the Section 106 funding which has been allocated for urban realm improvements in the village centre following the redevelopment of the former Shotley Bridge Hospital site.

Designs of 5 proposed environmental improvement schemes will be on display, chosen by the Council from a list of 17  identified by the Trust.  Jackie Donnelly and Dawn Reed from the Economic Development Team will be in attendance at the event on behalf of Durham County Council.

Should you require any additional information, please contact Dawn on 03000 261 073 or e-mail dawn.reed@durham.gov.uk

The schemes will also be on display in the Village Trust gazebo at the Shotley Spa Fun Day on bank holiday Monday.

Derwent Valley Landscape

March 17, 2013

There is to be an open public consultation event to discuss the Derwent Valley Landscape Partnership National Lottery bid at Citizens House in Consett on Wednesday 20th March at 4:30- 6:30. The aim of the event is to find out what local people would like to see happening in the Derwent Valley area as part of this bid.

Along with partners, Groundwork North East are developing this bid.   The aim is to secure up to £3 million to help to protect and develop the cultural, natural and industrial heritage of the Derwent Valley, increasing visitors and improve the environment for people and wildlife. Groundwork are currently in the early stages of developing the funding bid and want to make sure that it represents what the local communities in the area want.

Groundwork also has just launched an online survey about the project at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/derwentvalleynortheast

Saturday Spectacular

December 15, 2012

The Saturday of the Dickensian Christmas Spectacular remained cold but dry and there was a reasonable turnout to the event organised by the Shotley Bridge Business & Community Partnership. More photos have been posted in the Pages section under Photo Galleries including more images from the previous Victorian Christmas events.

Thank you once again to all the contributors and entertainers who gave their time to help raise money for Willow Burn and Blooming Shotley Bridge. Particular thanks to SBVT volunteer stewards and the North East Carriage Company who provided rides through the village centre and helped slow the traffic down!
