Parking
In an effort to address concerns over parking at School premises all local schools have had letters produced by myself in an attempt to advise parents who drive to school on where not to park when taking and collecting children from school.
Off Road Motorcycles.
After a recent increase in calls regarding youths using off motor cycles in surrounding fields and on school grounds one male youth has been arrested and his motor bike seized and destroyed. The male concerned is now due in court and facing further action regarding breaching his anti social behaviour order. Three other youths were questioned and each received final warning notices and should they come to our attention again they will have their bikes seized and face court action.

After complaints of disorderly behaviour at Skerne Play Park and the Co-op in Church Road, three local youths have been arrested and are currently on bail awaiting further action. All three youths come from properties which are owned by Sedgefield Borough Council, their parents will be spoken to and should the individuals behaviour continue to affect the local community, then Tenancy Enforcement will take action against the tenant.

BETH DONALDSON FROM TRIMDON MAKES NATIONAL SQUAD

Following on from her success in 2006 she became North of England Level 2 Champion in March
2007 and then competed at Liverpool where she passed the Level 2 National grade coming 11th
overall. There were only 14 in the UK who passed this grade. She then had to travel to Gloucester in June to compete in the Level 2 Voluntary competition where she once again came 11th. The two scores from these competitions are then added together and the girls are given a ranking and Beth is now ranked 9th in the UK in her age group.

Beth also competed at Newcastle in June this year where she won the gold medal to become the
North of England Elite champion 11 & under.

Due to her success this year she has now been selected to train with the Great Britain Start Squad which means she will be travelling to various training camps working with the National coaches.
