He's done it! Duncan Wise brings home gold in the VisitEngland Awards for Excellence.

Duncan has won the national final in the 'unsung hero' category for his part in conserving Northumberland's dark skies. Northumberland’s Dark Sky status, which he helped secure ten years ago, has brought in over £25 million in revenue for the local economy and has also extended the tourism season in Northumberland, drawing in visitors from across the world.

Congratulations Duncan, we can't think of anyone more deserving!

Lakeside Way diversion information

This Friday 7th June
Monday 10th June - Friday 14th (inclusive)

Lakeside Way south shore will be diverted to avoid the Lewisburn Bridge area.

traffic lights will be on the public road C200 to allow safe passage for Lakeside Way users across the road bridge from Matthews Linn Car Park to the other side of the Lewisburn Inlet.
