Flower tubs
We have been working closely with The Shaw Trust to help “brighten up” our town. The Town Council have placed more flower tubs throughout Billingham for Spring/Summer.
Communities Fund
Working in partnership with lead provider Newtown/Clarences Resource Centres, Billingham Town Council is an integral partner in tackling worklessness within Billingham.
Billingham Town Council has appointed a Community Development Officer to deliver this fundamental project.
It is unique for a Town Council to be involved with such projects, but we want to play a vital role in the well being of our community and feel that giving our support will ensure that you, our residents will be given the best possible support and guidance from this campaign.
