Residents invited to play their part in Alnwick’s future




Residents are being invited to come and find out about the latest updates on a number of key sites in Alnwick.


The community drop-in will be held at the Northumberland Hall on Saturday, 23rd March from 10am - 3pm and all are welcome.

The event is being organised by the Alnwick Forum, a partnership between Northumberland County Council and Alnwick Town Council and is a follow-up to November’s open day, where residents gave their views on a range of issues and sites around the town.

The aim of the event is to give an update on plans and progress on a number of key sites including, the  former Duchess’s High School site on Howling Lane, the Lindisfarne site, The Playhouse and Narrowgate - and to  feedback how residents’ views have shaped decision making.

The County Council own a number of  important sites in the town, and the Forum is helping to ensure their future use is fully considered and discussed.

The Town Council will also be providing light refreshments.

Forum members and Alnwick County Councillors Gordon Castle and Robbie Moore said: “The Alnwick Forum is more than just a place to discuss ideas. With Town and County Councillors at its heart and officers in support it is already beginning to make things happen for our town.”

Councillor Richard Wearmouth, Cabinet Member for Economic Development with Northumberland County Council added: “We know from the earlier drop-in event how passionate local residents are about their home town. We want to consult with the local community and keep them fully informed and I hope this follow up event will be well attended.  If you have ideas and views, now is the time to give them.”

Mayor of Alnwick Councillor Alan Symmonds said: “This is an important update event which will give feedback on the progress that is being made on some significant sites in the town. “
