The new Garden of Remembrance at Bedlington’s West Lea Cemetery has been officially opened.  The scheme is the latest to be completed as part of a range of projects totalling more than £370,000 across the county to pay tribute to Queen Elizabeth II - and follows suggestions from around 1,000 residents.  The Garden of Remembrance had fallen into disrepair but following restoration now features a new entrance new seating and a bust of the late Queen.  Funded by County Council and Bedlington West councillor Malcolm Robinson and contributions from the Friends of West Lea Cemetery Group the garden was opened by the Lord Lieutenant of Northumberland The opening ceremony was also attended by council leader Glen Sanderson and the County Council’s business chair Councillor John Beynon.   Councillor Sanderson said: “This is a beautiful restoration of a part of the cemetery which had unfortunately seen better days but is now looking magnificent.  “Across the county we’ve seen a range of different memorial schemes created and this one is very special and I’m sure will be very well loved by all those who visit.”  Councillor Robinson said: “The work has really transformed the Garden of Remembrance the new archway turns golden – it’s a bit of magic “It shows that we can make things exceptional if we’re given the opportunity and is a great example of organisations working together for the benefit of the wider community.”  Dr Pryer added: “The memorial you have created is something that is going to stay with Bedlington for many many years to come and for generations to come.”  The latest station to be completed on the Northumberland Line is set to open mid March.  After more than 60 years the public started using the line again before Christmas – with passengers making around 50,000 journeys in the first month That figure has now surpassed 110,000.  The opening of the line is set to bring massive benefits not just in terms of travel as well as enhanced public transport connectivity across the wider region.   following the opening of Ashington and Seaton Delaval stations on December 15th Newsham Station in Blyth will remove its barriers and accept passengers from the middle of March The exact date will be confirmed nearer the time.  The remaining three stations at Bedlington Blyth Bebside and Northumberland Park are scheduled to open throughout 2025.   Northumberland County Council Leader Glen Sanderson said: “It has taken a lot of courage commitment and ambition to build this Line and everyone involved in it should feel incredibly proud to see another station opening “Every challenge that could have been thrown at the project has been thought through and then dealt with and we’re delighted to be just days away from opening now.  rail line has proved extremely popular carrying well over 100,000 passengers so far and will save the daily grind through traffic for thousands of motorists.  “We hope to see the line fully open soon and then we want to see an extension to Newbiggin We remain fully focused on the end result which will be truly transformational for our county.”  Rail Minister Lord Peter Hendy said: “Tens of thousands of people have already benefited from the historic reopening of the Northumberland Line and I’m pleased many more will do so when Newsham station opens next month.  “The line is having a transformational impact on a region that was unserved by the railway for 60 years stimulating economic growth in line with the Government’s Plan for Change providing better travel options for local people and opening up new opportunities for businesses.”  Managing Director from Morgan Sindall Infrastructure-Rail "The opening of Newsham railway station is a proud achievement for our team and supply chain there has been a lot of hard work to get to this point Thank you to everyone who made this possible There are more milestones to come on the Northumberland Line Project and we remain dedicated to delivering the remaining stations with minimal disruption to passengers and the local community in mind.”  Northern’s Programme Manager for the Northumberland Line added: “We are looking forward to opening Newsham station following years of hard work and planning.   “The line is already having a significant impact on the region opening up new opportunities to tens of thousands of people in south east

to improve seven towns across Northumberland.  The County Council’s Cabinet agreed proposals to establish a new £9m Town Centre Transformation Package funded by Northumberland County Council as part of the county’s £21m Borderlands Place Programme.   £4m of this funding is to enable early delivery of a number of town centre projects to drive forward culture heritage and connectivity led improvements which will give a real boost to local communities.  Projects are set to get underway across the county from 2025 onwards.  All the projects are part of the Northumberland Borderlands Place Programme  - a ten-year £21m investment programme focused on town growth in Alnwick The Place Programme includes up to £3m investment for each of the seven town included from the Borderlands Growth Deal and the County Council combined which can be matched with other funders too.   Each town has now developed a Place Plan supported by a pipeline of project proposals at varying stages of development and these plans are all now endorsed by the Borderlands Partnership – after the final three - Bellingham Haltwhistle and Rothbury were agreed last month.  potential funding has been earmarked for projects and delivery from 2025 onwards is set to include:  Alnwick town centre - up to £1.2m to support enabling works to Northumberland Hall in advance of the development of the site as the new home of the proposed new Bailiffgate Museum and wider improvements to the Market Place as well as improvements to the Bus Station to become a revitalised Transport Hub.  Prudhoe – up to £500,000 towards development of the East Centre a new youth and community facility the Glade Town Square and public realm and wayfinding improvements.  Bedlington – up to £600,000 towards the Bedlington Station Heritage Café and Bistro alongside town centre improvements including a Market Place revitalisation project.  Newbiggin – up to £550,000 towards the first phase of a promenade transformation project including car parking improvements  Bellingham – up to £250,000 towards the Station Yard business pods and storage facilities part of the masterplan for this key heritage led visitor attraction Haltwhistle – up to £200,000 towards improved visitor facilities capitalising on the town’s longstanding popular visitor attractions.  Rothbury – up to £200,000 towards a range of town centre improvements focused on improving public realm and visitor infrastructure including car parking.  Each town’s Place Plan has been developed and backed by its local Place Partnership Group which brings together public private and community stakeholders including local County Councillors and Town Councils with the collective aim of improving each town.  The approach in each town reflects the size and scale of settlement and at this stage in the programme’s development the anticipated likely mix of projects in the longer term that could be funded as part of the wider Borderlands Place Programme.  said: “We’re delighted to be able to bring these plans to Cabinet which involve accelerating the delivery of a huge range of improvements to towns across our county.  "We now have seven towns with delivery set to get underway from 2025 onwards and I’m looking forward to each project making a positive impact locally as we continue to build towards delivering the Borderlands Place Programme across our county.  Director of the Borderlands Growth Programme added: “The Borderlands Place Programme is a critical part of the Borderlands Growth Deal.   “We have already seen major projects underway and completed or moving closer to getting started soon as part of this long term deal with UK and Scottish Government.  “Ad Gefrin and Lillidorei have been hugely successful with the Maltings Theatre developing well.  This commitment from us to accelerate the Place Programme and invest in seven towns to get delivery underway is fantastic news and I’m looking forward to seeing each town develop in the future.”  More details of the plans for towns is available HERE Sunderland RCA welcomed Bedlington Terriers to the Lillian Blinds Arena for an all-important clash in the EBAC Northern League Division 2 relegation battle A fine volleyed goal from Daniel Maw two minutes before half time and an explosive goal from Callum Hughes which found the bottom left side of the goal in the 94th minute secured all three points for the home team Just one point separated the two sides prior to kick off Steve Pickering’s men had won just one of their last 17 coming into this one whilst Mark Forrest’s RCA had picked up five points in their last five outings A below par first half saw both teams looking understandably nervous There was little in the way of goalmouth action A great individual chance from Hamza Mohammed in the early stages of the game saw the visitors have a sight on goal Sunderland RCA almost took the lead from a set-piece with a header from Rudd hitting the crossbar from an Adam Cocks corner in the 26th minute RCA took the lead when a cross from Liam Appleby was met at the far post by Maw who volleyed the ball past Dan Staples With the advantage of the slope in the second half RCA created a number of chances Appleby had a great chance to extent RCA’s lead in the 73rd minute with a shot from the edge of the box which flew inches over the crossbar As the game progressed there was a lot of frustration in some on field decision and this boiled over in the 83 minute when goalkeeper Staples was sent to the sin-bin then shortly after Bedlington had a penalty appeal turned down which led to more frustration from the visiting bench The hosts doubled their lead six minutes later after some good build up play between relentless midfielder Chris Thompson and Appleby caused a defensive error which saw Hughes pick up the loose ball and from an acute angle fire the ball into the net to secure the three points for the home team The result sees

been worth it and I thank everyone in our team for getting us here.  “Today shows what can be achieved when people work together to produce something that is brilliant provides lasting social benefits for many and brings hugely significant economic benefits to the area.”  Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander said: “This is a truly transformational project that will have countless positive benefits

and new track both key to getting the journey times and capacity - alongside the existing freight services - that will make this line a critical part of the North East rail network.” RAIL Briefing

between Hexham train station and Corbridge improving both local connections within Hexham and facilitating active travel trips between Hexham and Corbridge The route will largely follow the A695 between the two town’s rail stations.  Both routes will be a mix of shared pedestrian and cyclist use or segregated and some short paths will connect to the main routes A number of new crossings will also be installed.  Cabinet Member for Cabinet Member for Supporting Business and Opportunities  and Chair of the Council’s Walking and Cycling Board said: “It’s great that we’re now getting spades in the ground on these fantastic schemes.  “While the two schemes are in very different areas of the county the objectives and benefits of each route are the same.   “These include moving away from reliance on the private car to more sustainable modes of transport improving road safety for cyclists and pedestrians and cutting harmful emissions.  “What is also key is that these routes will improve connectivity for cyclists and pedestrians to education “In Bedlington for example the route will connect the centre of the town to East Sleekburn with the planned new data centre and the likes

her Bedlington Terrier “Breitling,” Starcastle’s Coveted Timepiece RM RAE BCAT ACT2 ACT1J CGC TKI Bedlington Terriers aren’t a breed that are typical for performance dog sports, but this year, Breitling, or “Briet,” was one of two Bedlingtons that qualified for the 2024 AKC Rally National Championship dogs from 120 breeds and 47 states participated in the competition with more than 800 teams competing at the Wilmington Nordstrom and her 2-year-old male from Fairhaven are no newcomers to the AKC Rally competition The practice paid off as the team stepped onto the AKC Rally stage for the first time as the number one AKC Rally Bedlington in the country and the first of its breed to earn a Rally Master title teams demonstrate their skills in one of six competitive classes: Novice and competed in the Excellent class at the AKC Rally National Championship Although many breeds show off their skills at this event they aren’t compared to other dogs in their breed they’re judged on how well they navigate a course with their owners at a brisk pace Each team encounters a sign along the routine instructing them to perform various exercises Of the 200 possible signs the judge selects for each course These include basic turns and commands with variations Handlers can talk to their dogs when they approach a sign on the course “Bedlington Terriers have a reputation for not being the easiest to work with in dog sports as they have a high prey drive and a strong desire to sniff everything around them,” says Nordstrom but I wanted an unusual breed with a challenge but working with Breitling is so rewarding.” “Besides having a dog to see the world and share adventures with me, I wanted a medium-sized, hypoallergenic breed that could enjoy my life,” Nordstrom says Nordstrom wanted a dog with which she could do agility Her Bedlington has not only fulfilled but exceeded her expectations These entry-level agility events introduce beginning skills to dogs and their handlers The dog has also earned Fast CAT, Canine Good Citizen, and AKC Trick Dog titles Breit is the second-fastest Bedlington in Fast CAT and the fifth-fastest Bedlington of all time,” Nordstrom says One of Nordstrom’s goals with Breitling is to show how beautiful AKC Rally can be “The love and devotion we have for each other come together in a neat and powerful way in this sport,” she says Nordstrom trains students at a canine enrichment facility but hopes to start her own facility “Breit is the dog that started it all for me and changed my life,” Nordstrom says I was all over the place career-wise and felt so confused about life.” Everything fell into place once Nordstrom brought Breit home and began training him “We have a strong connection like nothing I’d ever felt before.” a Bedlington Terrier looks delicate and bears a strong resemblance to a lamb especially when performing their original job of chasing vermin According to the Bedlington Terrier Club of America the Bedlington is named after the English mining shire “Bedlingtons are an active breed known for their versatility “When I called Nancy Rappaport in Pennsylvania and she wasn’t sure the pups would survive.” Rappaport agreed to place a puppy with Nordstrom and her partner if they promised to participate in dog sports with the little fluffy male “The moment I picked him up at 13 weeks old and my heart skipped a beat,” Nordstrom says Nordstrom decided to call him “Breitling” or “Breit” after the passion for luxury watches she shared with her father I knew this dog would make history and be remembered so naming him after something that tells time fit the bill,” Nordstrom says Considering the breed’s appearance and Breitling watches are for people who love adventure and appreciate perfection The new owners soon discovered the puppy’s curious side “He didn’t play much because he just wanted to explore everything around him,” she says Nordstrom decided to use his sniffing as an incentive I would take him outside at 5 AM on a long line and let him smell everything he wanted I rewarded him with treats,” Nordstrom says “I wanted everything to be neutral or positive Nordstrom found that he shut down when he couldn’t use his nose “Finding what made him tick and not being afraid to try new things helped enormously,” she adds Nordstrom is already looking ahead to next year’s AKC Rally National Championship “I can’t wait to compete again—but by then we’ll do it in the Master and Championship classes,” Nordstrom says If you missed the 2024 AKC Rally National Championship,
