The North Northumberland Community Partnership is scheduled to meet on Thursday, 30 April 2026. The meeting agenda includes an informal discussion session covering several local issues, including bus stop volunteering, rural crime, climate change, and the work of the Northumberland Wildlife Trust and Rothbury Parish Council. There will also be opportunities for public questions and the consideration of any new or existing petitions.

Informal Discussion Session

The partnership is scheduled to hold an informal discussion session on a range of topics relevant to the local community. These include:

• Bus Stop Volunteering: This topic is scheduled for discussion, suggesting a potential initiative to involve the community in the upkeep or management of local bus stops.
• Rural Crime Officers Northumbria Police: The role and activities of rural crime officers from Northumbria Police are set to be discussed. This may involve an update on efforts to tackle crime in rural areas and how the community can engage with the police on these issues.
• Climate Change: The partnership is expected to discuss matters related to climate change, which could encompass local impacts, mitigation efforts, or adaptation strategies within the North Northumberland area.
• Northumberland Wildlife Trust: The work and potential collaborations with the Northumberland Wildlife Trust are scheduled for discussion. This organisation focuses on protecting and enhancing wildlife and habitats across the county.
• Rothbury Parish Council: The agenda indicates a discussion involving Rothbury Parish Council, likely to cover local governance, community projects, or issues specific to the Rothbury area.

Public Question Time

The meeting will include a session for public questions. Members of the public have the opportunity to submit written questions in advance of the meeting concerning issues for which the Council has responsibility. The Chair of the meeting has discretion over the management of this session, and questions may be rejected if they fall into certain categories, such as those requiring the disclosure of confidential information or those that are defamatory, frivolous, or offensive.

Petitions

The partnership will also consider petitions. This item on the agenda allows for the reception of any new petitions submitted by the public, the consideration of reports on petitions that have been previously received, and the provision of updates on petitions for which a report was previously considered.

The meeting is scheduled to take place at Jubilee Hall, Bridge Street, Rothbury, Northumberland, NE65 7SD.
