GUYZANCE BRIDGE

Guyzance Bridge has been chosen as the main logo for the website as it symbolizes the very ideals and qualities we are aiming to achieve in creating this resource.

The bridge…

•  is at the heart of our parish

•  links the northern and
    southern areas of our
    parish which are divided by
    the River Coquet

•  aids communication
    between the two villages
    in our parish - Acklington
    and Guyzance

•  is strong, reliable, stylish
    and supportive

•  is used frequently and
    serves our parish well

We hope, given time, that this website will be regarded as having qualities to match those of Guyzance Bridge.

Above all, we will strive to ensure that Acklington Parish Website always serves our community well.

ACKLINGTON’S MISSING PLANTS

Following a tip-off from an Acklington resident, a man from a surrounding village was arrested and cautioned by Northumbria Police after he admitted to the thefts of shrubs and flowers from the tubs and garden in Acklington Village .
Some plants have been salvaged and re-planted by the culprit.
No further problems are expected. WE HOPE

MISSING BENCH IN ACKLINGTON

Police are investigating the theft of a seating bench from the entrance to Millennium Walk, midway between Acklington and North Broomhill. The bench was installed by Acklington Parish Council four years ago to provide walkers with a rest spot. Unfortunately the bench was stolen some time during the night of Sunday 17th August. The bench was firmly fixed to the ground but the thieves managed to remove it by sawing through the legs before taking it away in a vehicle. The parish council will discuss what action to take in respect of the theft at its next meeting. In the meantime anyone with any information regarding the theft of the bench should contact the clerk to the council, Lisa Hamlin, on 01670 783495.
