Here are a few recent photos of some of the Village Trust volunteers who have been helping to replant hundreds of Violas in the Junior School grounds and repaint our fifty tubs.
Volunteers at work
June 9, 2013 Blue and pink for Royal Baby
June 1, 2013Today the ‘Blooming’ Shotley Bridge volunteers were replanting the tubs with summer bedding, in a blue and pink colour scheme to celebrate the forthcoming birth of a royal baby.
It was a pity that the violas had to be removed as they were in full bloom, but the geraniums, begonia and lobelia needed to be planted to allow time to grow before the judges from Northumbria in Bloom visit on 18 July.
Beveridges of Ebchester provided the plants again this year.

Slam Dunk the Junk
May 20, 2013Volunteers are needed to help Slam Dunk the Junk in Derwent Valley
The Derwent Valley Partnership have organised two morning litter picks in the Shotley Bridge area this Wednesday [Derwent Walk] and the first Monday in June [Shotley Bridge playpark and field]. The community litter picks are being delivered as part of the Derwent Valley Partnership’s ‘Slam Dunk the Junk’ programme which also includes dog micro-chipping and educational assembly activities.
The attached poster provides full details of where and when the community litter picks will be taking place so please spread the word to your friends and neighbours – the more volunteers they have, the more rubbish can be collected. [Click on image to enlarge.]
