Stephen Rickitt, the Chief Officer for the Northumberland Association of Local Councils (NALC), will be retiring later this year.
Applications are now open for potential candidates to take on this crucial role in managing NALC and delivering services to the member Parish and Town Councils.
The Association was saddened to hear of the death of Prince Philip. Our thoughts and prayers are with HM The Queen and The Royal Family.
The Enews dispatched to Member Council today has guidance on how flags should be flown at half-mast.
All the Parish, Town and Community Councils in Northumberland will hold elections this year.
If they are contested, i.e. there are more candidates than seats, the actual election will be held on Thursday 6 May 2021 at the same time as the elections for the County Council and the Police & Crime Commissioner.
There are more details on the County Council's website at https://www.northumberland.gov.uk/elections.aspx
In common with many organisations we are not using the Pegswood office at the present time. The landline should not be used.
