A recent Ipsos MORI poll on funeral costs were conducted in
March 2010. This showed local independent funeral directors costs
were on average £200 to £400 cheaper than Co-operative
Funeralcare and Dignity for a simple funeral. We generally even
exceed this figure on savings to families, but still not
reducing
the high level of professionalism and service we provide.

Ferryhill Town Council is in the process of compiling this
year’s Annual Town Survey. As in previous years the survey will ask
for the public’s opinion on the various facilities provided by the
Town Council as well as views on the local Police service and other
such facilities.Ferryhill Town Council in producing the survey is
keen to incorporate issues of local significance and of particular
interest to the residents of Ferryhill. Accordingly, anyone with
any specific questions they would like included in this years
survey, which is scheduled to be distributed to all households in
Ferryhill in the Summer time, are invited
to put their questions forward to the Town Council by no later
than Friday, May 28th. Space in the Town Survey is of course
limited and therefore the Town Council advises that it will not be
possible to include all suggested questions. Questions most likely
to be included in the survey are those which are submitted most
frequently.Anyone wanting to suggest a question for inclusion in
the Town Survey should address their question to Karen Younghusband
at Ferryhill Town Council or telephone the Council on 01740 652157
or submit their question via the Town Council’s email address:

FERRYHILL ANNUAL TOWN SURVEY
The Mayor of Ferryhill, Councillor Eileen Martin, went to visit
Vivian Woodward on his special day.
A CENTURY OF CELEBRATIONS
On Wednesday, April 21st, a Ferryhill resident celebrated the
fantastic achievement of reaching his 100th birthday.Vivian
Woodward, who shares his birthday with the queen, was born a
century ago in West Cornforth. He moved to
Ferryhill when he was three years-old.At 15, Viv began working
for Mainsforth Colliery after ambitions of obtaining a clerical job
fell through.He stayed at the colliery, working at the bank side
and
in the lamp cabin until he was 21.Later, he began working for
his dad, Adam Woodward in his radio spares shop, before finding
employment in the lamp cabin at Bishop Middleham during the war.He
eventually returned to Mainsforth Colliery, where he stayed until
the pit closed.Viv was happily married to Beatrice for 64 years,
until she sadly passed away in 1999.As newlyweds, the couple lived
in Morrison Terrace, before moving to Bowes Close in 1985, where
Viv stills lives independently today.The couple had two children
together, Brian, 75, and Jean, 73, as well as a 41 year-old
Grandson Tim and two great-grandchildren.Viv says that the love of
his life is music. He played the fiddle as a boy and progressed to
cello, playing at Majestic Picture House until the ‘talkies’ came
along.The centurian, who still takes care of himself and is as
bright as a button, celebrated his birthday with a party. During
the event, £110 was raised, which Viv very kindly donated to the
Mayor of Ferryhill’s charities.

Dog owners are being offered free chips for their pets.Durham
County Council and Stray Aid will be running free mircochipping
sessions at venues in South Durham during May.The sessions, which
are part of the council’s work to promote responsible dog
ownership, will take place at Shildon Market Place, Church Street,
on Saturday, May 15th, and Fishburn Community Centre car park,
Butterwick Road, on Saturday, May 29th.Stray Aid’s Animal Ambulance
will be carrying out free chipping between 10.00am and 2.00pm at
each venue.Andy Denholm, Durham County Council Envirocrime
Coordinator, said, “Animals that have been microchipped have their
own unique code number. This number and the owner’s details are
then added to a national database.“This means that if a dog that is
lost or stolen is found it is easier to return
FREE DOG CHIPPING
it to its owner. Although the law states that all dogs should
wear a collar and tag showing their owner’s name or address, these
can fall off or get lost. Microchips are a permanent but harmless
way of identifying your pet.”
A search is under way to find young people in County Durham with
an outstanding school attendance record.Durham County Council wants
to find all teenagers in their final year at secondary school and
all children in their last year at primary school who have a 100
per cent attendance record to invite them to a
SEARCH FOR 100 PER CENT SCHOOL ATTENDEES
special celebration.The young people will receive an award to
mark the outstanding achievement of not missing even half a day in
class throughout their whole secondary or primary career.The award
will include a tour of St James’ Park, the home of Newcastle
United, and a presentation dinner with their families.
Parents who think their son or daughter has 100 per cent
attendance record to date should contact their school
immediately.To be eligible for the award, the attendance must
continue to be 100 per cent until the pupil’s official leaving date
in summer.Durham County Council is also checking with schools to
see who might qualify.
Micro-chipping allows dogs to be easily reunited with their
owners if they go missing.
Further sessions are due to take place in other locations around
the county in the future.For more information about free
mircochipping call Andy on 01388 816 166 ext. 8842 or visit

SPRING INTO SUMMER BY GIVING THE GIFT OF LIFE
NHS Blood and Transplant are asking people this month to think
of others that are less fortunate, such as those that need life
saving blood treatments and give blood to help save lives.As
donated blood has a limited shelf life, at just 35 days for red
blood cells and just five days for platelets, it is crucial that
new donors come forward regularly to ensure the vital supplies of
blood needed by hospitals are readily available.
Craig Taylor spokesperson for NHS Blood and Transplant said
“Donated blood is used in accident and emergency situations, by
cancer sufferers and in surgery. It is also used by people
suffering from blood disorders such as sickle cell anaemia that
need blood transfusions every four weeks. If you’ve ever wanted to
be a donor but not got around to it, now is the time to act.”The
process of giving blood takes around an hour - with the
actual donation taking about fifteen minutes.A blood drive will
be taking place at Ferryhill Leisure Centre on Monday, May 24th,
betweem 2.30pm and 4.00pm and between 4.30pm and 7.00pm. A session
will also be taking place at Spennymoor Town Hall on Monday, May
4th, between 3.00pm and 4.30pm and between 5.00pm and 7.00pm.For
further information, contact 0117 969 24 44.

NOT GUILTY PLEA Adam Nobbs pleaded not guilty to the charge
faced and will return before Newton Aycliffe Magistrates on 16th
June, when his case will be committed to Durham Crown Court. It is
alleged that on 8th December 2009, the 18 year old, from Woodstock
Terrace,
Bishop Middleham, entered Grinton House in Ferryhill with
another unknown person. The property was empty, awaiting
renovation, due to a recent fire. Two people were seen leaving the
property and a holdall containing power tools was later
recovered.
MOTORING OFFENCES
Keith Robert Shaw, of Ash Drive, Willington was due before
Newton Aycliffe Magistrates recently to face charges of driving
whilst over the legally permitted limit
of alcohol and of having no motor insurance. The 47 year-old is
alleged to have committed the offences in Grasmere Road, Ferryhill
on April 10th.
On Saturday, May 8th, the young people of St Luke’s Phoenix
group and their leaders will be found up to their elbows in soap
suds washing cars!The group is hoping to raise money for the Great
North Air Ambulance at the event, which will be taking
place between 10.00am and 12.00pm.There will also be various
stalls within the church hall, including a cake stall, tombola and
games.“While your car is washed, why not relax and have a cuppa and
a bacon butty?” asked a spokesperson.
IT’S A WASH OUT!
Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor,This week I, like most of the residents of
Ferryhill, have received a leaflet from the group F.A.I.R. Was I
the only one who was horrified and saddened by what it revealed?
The content was undoubtedly shocking, a Council that manipulates
stats, spends our money as though they had
won the lottery, changes the 'rules'to suit themselves... Why
did they do this? Possibly because they could, and this is what
saddens me. The apathy we all exhibit, myself included, has
resulted in Ferryhill having the Council we deserve.Did you
complete the survey? No? Neither did I, why?
Because you, like me, probably thought it doesn't matter what I
think they will do what they want anyway, and it looks as though we
were right. If this small example is echoed, and I suspect it will
be, in the forthcoming National Election...God help us!!
Name and address witheld on request.
Dear Editor,In reply to Alan S Holmes, and my 'outspoken
attack', it is perfectly reasonable to reply to a suggestion that,
though not named, myself and others who are elected representatives
of our communities are 'jumping on a bandwagon' in supporting
Help for Heroes.In that respect, the use of the word 'Aligning'
in the original letter, was used in a manner to suggest this. I
have no shame in being associated with Help for Heroes and will
continue to give any support I can when my term of office is over.
In quoting me you did
not insert inverted commas around the word 'Aligning' as I did
in my letter, which does change the context and, whether this was
done deliberately or by mistake, to quote yourself 'you cannot get
away with that!'
Mayor of Chilton,Len Potts.

Ferryhill Town Youth’s Under 8s played away to Bishop Auckland
St Mary’s on Tuesday, April 13th. This game was always going to be
a tough game against a strong St Mary’s side, but Ferryhill came
out on top with some good football, winning the game 2 – 1.
Ferryhill’s scorers were Lewis Pearson and Harrison Webster, with
Man-of-the-Match going to Lewis Pearson.
On Sunday, the Under 8’s played at home to Hardwick Youth. The
game was end-to-end and could not be decided with the final score
being 2–2. Owen Lister scored both the Ferryhill goals and
Man-of-the-Match went to Harrison Webster.The Under 12's were at
home to 21st All Stars. Ferryhill were unlucky to be beaten 3-2.
Ferryhill’s goal scorers were Connor Pearson and Ellis
Slater, with Man-of-the-Match awarded to Alex Quinn. Ferryhill
Under 12's were away to top-of-the-table Richmond town and the lads
fought well only to lose the game 6-0. Man-of-the-Match went to
Noah Cummings. The under 12s team are looking for players for next
season. Anyone interested should get in touch with either Dave or
Rita Foster on 01740 651508 for more information.

James Edmond on the podium at the World Mountain Bike Cup at
Dalby Forest.
A MIXED BAG FOR FERRYHILL TOWN YOUTH
The Ferryhill Wheelers Mountain High Race Team enjoyed its first
major successes of the season at the World Cup Mountain Bike event
at Dalby Forest recently. James Edmond was riding in one of the
supporting events, the Dalby Dare. This junior competition was a
showcase for some of the best British talent, but also had an
international flavour with riders travelling from overseas to
participate. James's race was on the main World Cup course and was
a fast and furious ride. After successfully negotiating the more
technical sections of the course, James finished a clear winner,
sprinting up the finish straight in front
of a huge crowd. James was awarded his medal on the main
podium by World Downhill Champion, Steve Peat.
MAJOR SUCCESS FOR FERRYHILL WHEELERS
