Are you eligible for a Boiler upgrade?

Check if you may be eligible for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme

 

The government is providing grants to encourage property owners to install low carbon heating systems such as heat pumps, through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS). These grants aim to help property owners overcome the upfront cost of low carbon heating technologies.

Dog waste Bins

The Parish Council together with the Community Group have bought and installed more dog waste bins. A rough sketch showing where they are located is attached. The new bin at Overdene is by the bridle path.

Whilst the bins are owned by the Parish Council they are emptied by Northumberland County Council and can only be located in accessible areas for their vehicles. 

The new locations will be monitored for 3 months but hopefully will be a permanent fixture.

Can you help?
