Blyth Town Council This page is for informational purposes only. Contact us by email via [email protected] Blyth Town Council was inaugurated in April 2009..

Blyth Town Council is a Community Council at the most local level of Government. We provide an expanding number of services, events and also a voice for the residents of Blyth delivered with local knowledge and commitment. The first election to the Council was held on 4th June 2009. The Town Council was formed to fill a democratic deficit left on the creation of the newly-formed unitary authority Northumberland County Council. This had replaced the previous Northumberland County Council and six district councils within the county, one of which was Blyth Valley Borough Council. The Wards and your Town Councillors are as follows:

Cowpen - Cllr A Barrass & Cllr B Erskine

Croft - Cllr K Nisbet & Cllr M Richardson Mayor

Isabella - Cllr J Potts & Cllr A Watson

Kitty Brewster - Cllr G Davey & Cllr S Davey

Newsham - Cllr M Robson & Cllr C Humphrey

Plessey - Cllr S Stanger & Cllr J Reid

South Blyth - Cllr D Carr & Cllr C Jones

Wensleydale - Cllr A Cartie & Cllr W Taylor

🏛️ Could we be more ambitious for Blyth? ❤️

One comment from our Your Voice, Blyth’s Future survey recently caught our attention:

💬 “Blyth Town Council does some positive work supporting community activities, local heritage and the appearance of our public spaces. However, I believe there is an opportunity to be more ambitious.”

Recently, we unveiled a blue plaque at North Farm, celebrating Blyth’s heritage. The event was very well attended — showing there’s real interest in celebrating our town’s history!

🌱🌻 Amazing Progress at Beatrice New Gardens Allotments! 🥕🌼

We've recently welcomed some new tenants to our allotments, and it's been lovely to hear such positive feedback about all the hard work taking place!

A big thank you to some of our newest tenants at Beatrice New Gardens, who have kindly shared these fantastic photos showing just how much they've achieved in only 10 days! 👏🌿

It's wonderful to see the plots being transformed, and we're looking forward to hearing more success stories from our allotment community.

Keep up the great work, everyone! 💚

🗣️ Is there really nothing for kids to do in Blyth? ❤️

When asked what they value about Blyth in our Your Voice, Blyth’s Future survey, one resident commented:

💬 “Nothing, I’ve lived in Blyth all my life and it’s disgraceful there is nothing for kids to do.”

We know Blyth has plenty to offer! From our successful programme of community events to the many local clubs and activities, there are so many opportunities for children and families to get involved.

But could we do more to help families find out what’s available — and what’s missing?

⚽🌟 Wor Bella is coming home to Blyth! 🌟⚽

After a hugely successful tour and a string of sold-out performances, Wor Bella returns to Blyth by popular demand.

This inspiring one-person play tells the incredible true story of the unbeaten Blyth Spartans Ladies football team and the remarkable women who helped power the war effort during World War I. Funny, moving and full of local pride, it's a story that deserves to be remembered.

Don't miss the chance to see this acclaimed production right here in the town where the story began.

♻️ “The glass recycling bins have been taken away from King Street. We need more!”

This comment from our Your Voice, Blyth’s Future survey caught our attention.

The good news is that the glass recycling bins haven't disappeared! They've simply been relocated to Keel Row Car Park, where residents can continue to recycle their glass. ♻️

This is a great example of why we're asking residents to share their views. Sometimes we can help by giving information about services provided by others including Northumberland County Council.

From thorns to roses! 🌹

Blyth Town Council has recently commissioned improvement works through Northumberland County Council at Beatrice New Garden Allotments, turning a previously overgrown area into a newly surfaced car park.

The improvements will provide a more practical and accessible parking area for allotment holders away from the residential areas, making it easier for them to visit and tend to their plots🌱

It's another positive improvement to one of our community spaces, helping to ensure our allotment sites remain welcoming and well-maintained for those who enjoy them.

What a transformation!
