Following a suggestion made to the Parish Council, it’s been agreed that upon the death of a parish resident, the flag at the entrance to Fontside can be flown at half-mast on the day of the funeral. The Parish Council recognises that this will be a sad and emotional time and either the family can make the request directly or a parish councillor will discreetly speak with the family, if they are known.

Northumberland County Council is launching a new initiative to support the phenomenal volunteering networks that have been rallying support across the county in response to COVID-19. The Council is launching "Northumberland Communities Together" - a dedicated team which will help harness the power of local community volunteers whilst making sure the county's most vulnerable residents are protected.
