Her Majesty the Queen

by

The Parish Council is deeply saddened by the death of Her Majesty The Queen.  We join with people throughout our country and the world to mourn her loss and we offer our heartfelt sympathy to the Royal Family.

In Riding Mill, a Book of Condolence has been opened and can be found in St James’s Church.  The Church will be open 24 hours a day for the next week to offer a place for prayer and reflection

It’s also possible to send an online condolence message directly to the Royal Family via the following link: https://www.royal.uk/send-message-condolence

Following national guidance, the parish council meeting due to be held on Monday 12th September has been cancelled and the council will therefore next meet on Monday 10th October.

Further details of church services or local events will be shared when known.

Himalayan Balsam – Wednesday 30th June

by

 

It’s time to beat the balsam!

Himalayan balsam is an invasive non-native species which dominates riverbanks, reduces biodiversity and worsens erosion.

Tyne Rivers Trust would love to work with local residents to clear the Himalayan balsam along the Riding Mill burns. This is really easy to do as the plants has such short roots and it’s a great way to spend a few hours outside, improving habitats and meeting other local residents.

Tyne Rivers Trust is the only environmental charity dedicated to improving the River Tyne and its tributaries. The work that we do is vital to tackle the effects of climate change and support the wildlife and landscape of the Tyne rivers. We want a better river, a better region and a better life for all. Volunteering is a great way to spend time outdoors, meet new people and is vital to help us improve habitat and make the river a better place to be.

Volunteering with TRT can range from informal monitoring of rivers and streams to practical conservation tasks such as litter picking, tree planting and invasive species control.

Join us on Wednesday 30th June to learn about this alien invader and spend a couple of hours pulling it out.

If you’d be interested in getting involved, TRT would love to hear from you and can share more information – get in touch with their Volunteer Coordinator, Jenny Elliott, for more information – j.elliott@tyneriverstrust.org
