AN elderly Greenock couple are living in fear of their crumbling ceiling completely collapsing on top of them after a recent near miss. Eighty-four-year-old Muriel and Ian Riddell were almost clattered by falling debris in their kitchen - after a similar incident happened in the bathroom. They say their nightmare has been ongoing for 15 months after work was carried out on the roof of the flats where they have lived for more than 50 years. The couple say they have been in limbo because they can t get to the source of the problem. Muriel, of Hope Street, said: The roof needed fixed and repairs were carried out.
The newly appointed High Sheriff of Northumberland aims to support the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people post-Covid by providing creative pursuits and opportunities. Joanna Riddell, the founder of Stamfordham visual arts destination Cheeseburn Sculpture and of the Gillian Dickinson Young North East Sculptor of the Year Award, has been installed into the position. The role of High Sheriff dates back to Saxon England, when the role was to oversee and maintain law and order locally. Nowadays, it’s an independent non-political Royal appointment and a new sheriff is nominated and installed each year. Their duty is to support the charity and voluntary sector, including raising funds for The High Sheriff of Northumberland’s Awards Scheme.
