On behalf of Acomb Parish
Council, welcome
to our web site: an exciting way of sharing
information about the Parish Council and other activities
and events in Acomb. We hope that you find it
informative,
helpful and interesting.
The parish of Acomb, bounded by the course of
Hadrian's Wall
to the north and the river Tyne to the south lies within a
beautiful part of Northumberland. Indeed, the many
country
lanes and public rights of way through and around the
parish
are regularly enjoyed by residents and visitors alike.
At the heart of the parish is the village of Acomb itself,
with a proud history spanning a number of centuries.
Within
more recent developments the village has expanded
with the
addition of some new houses and developments.
Acomb remains
an attractive village with residents taking great pride in
their homes and gardens; adding much to the impact of
the
built environment.
Acomb Parish Council, however, does not simply
operate within
an area of beautiful countryside or within an attractive
village;
we are here working as both part of, and for the
community.
Acomb retains a vibrant community spirit with a lively
school,
the Parish Church of St John Lee, and a Methodist
Church,
a village hall, a number of organisations meeting
regularly,
sporting facilities and events, a Post Office and a range
of other businesses and services. The strength of any
community
lies with its people and the Parish Council recognises
the
effort and commitment of so many individuals and
groups within
Acomb.
For our part, the Parish Council seeks to support the
needs
and aspirations of the community in many and varied
ways;
working alone and in partnership with other levels of
local
government and other agencies. We all need to nurture
and
encourage community life both now and as we plan for
the future.
Informing, supporting and acting together - Help us to help you!
