Deadline is looming for contest

The Duchess of Northumberland presented the Friends of Alnmouth Station with a LOVE Northumberland Award at last years ceremony.

Community groups, schools and individuals can enter their environmental projects and initiatives for this annual celebration of activities which help to keep the county clean and green.

○ Best new project (projects that are less than one year old);

○ Best coast or countryside project (projects that happen in more rural areas);

○Best young people’s project (where most of the participants are aged 12 to 25);

○ Best children’s project (where most of the participants are aged 11 and under);

○ Best school recycling project;
