A voice for the people of Haltwhistle

 

Haltwhistle Town Council

 

When COUNTRYSIDE EXCHANGE SCHEME visited HALTWHISTLE in 2003 from  America this is what they found.

However, we did see areas that need improvement if the community is to realise its potential. We were overwhelmed with the number of plans, coordinating committees’ etc. However, there seems to have been much more talk than action. The connection to Hadrian’s Wall needs to be made and true

partnerships with the agencies running the various facilities along the wall are needed. There seems to be a fair amount of negativity within the community about the loss of a past way of life. There is also a growing understanding that the community does have fantastic natural and cultural resources both within and next to it. The overall impression is that of a community with more going for it than against it.

Well 7 years on we are still talking I am wondering how many times we have missed the boat

18 months ago I thought of two ideas which are on the next two pages.

 

We as a town have got to think of something to make us some money or we are sunk we must forget all the hidden agendas and all work together before its too late I am being very straight with you the clock is ticking where are we going to get money from don’t say grants because if you do you’re living in cloud cuckoo land there won’t be any, them days are over.

 

So what's to go Haltwhistle Partnership,Leisure Centre and Library I think in that order so the town dies last one out shuts the gate now that's the worst case scenario.

The easy way put it on the rates problem solved.

But no you will all have heard of Letter to America
