My last column shared just some of the hundreds of millions of your money being invested in North Northumberland.

£35 million for a new Berwick hospital, completed next year.
£33m for Northumberland potholes over three years.
£20m new leisure centre in Tweedmouth.
£7.3m to upgrade 3,750 North Northumberland premises’ broadband.
£3.7m for Northumberland bridge repairs.

Craster Memorial Hall is a wonderful community hub providing warmth, food and drink, social interaction, and internet access, particularly for the vulnerable and those in need, as well as hosting the Parish Council, the Community Trust, the Women’s Institute and the Local History Group.

Today I wanted to provide an update on the new £35m Berwick hospital, on schedule to open towards the end of 2024.

Did you know: 55% of small businesses here in Berwick-upon-Tweed have been trading for over a decade, compared to 39% elsewhere in the country, and it was a pleasure to visit one of them recently – Allan Brothers, the longest established window company in the UK!

I am delighted to share with you that Northumberland and the North of Tyne combined authority has successfully secured £3 million from the Government's £110 million Rural England Prosperity Fund.
