Dear Residents,
Please see the message further below from Northumberland County Council.
As your Parish Council, we have followed up all issues reported and observed - fallen trees, faulty street lighting, blocked paths, gullies and roads needing to be swept.
We are not aware of any concerns the elderly and vulnerable may have. Friends and neighbours in the Village are very good at checking.
Parish Council November 2021 Update
Please note that unfortunately the Parish Council Meeting due to be held tonight (21st October) has had to be cancelled, as the Clerk to the Parish Council tested positive for COVID 19 last night.
The next meeting will be on 18th November 2021.
Please accept our apologies for the very late cancellation but this is obviously due to circumstances beyond our control.
If you have any queries you were planning on raising at the meeting tonight, please email them to ovinghamparishcouncil@yahoo.co.uk
