Ragwort can kill horses
The grass on the village green has recently been cut - but one asks why has the clump of weeds been left to spoil the effort. Prestwick has a large horse population and I'm sure their owners will not be happy to see that the weeds are poisonous Ragwort which could seed into adjacent fields where their horses run.
As detailed in a previous post the notice board had been lowered - see the posts sticking out of the top- a common fault with highway furniture. Attention to detail again! - why cut the grass and leave the tufts around the posts uncut?

Prestwick based charity accounts published
LEGACARE (UK) LTD
TRUSTEES' REPORT AND UNAUDITED ACCOUNTS
Legacare Accounts
None of the trustees or anyone connected with the trustees received any remuneration or was reimbursed expenses in the period. During the period Margaret Kirby's, who is a trustee of the charity, legal practice Kirbys Solicitors provided legal services by way of consultancy to the charity to facilitate the charity's objectives to the value of £33,333 which is in accordance with the governing document. This ocurred because there was insufficient funding to recruit solicitors for the charity at this time, which would also include costs for professional indemnity insurance, practising certificates, CPD training as well as supervision and monitoring. This is a temporary measure until the Charity has sufficient funding to recruit solicitors and their associate core costs.

The Prestwick Hoard
In 1890 13 bronze vessels and a possible handle were ploughed up on
Prestwick Carr 350 yards north of Prestwick Whins Farm. This camp
kitchen set contained a cauldron, 4 bowls, one basin and 7 saucepans.
Though battered and patched, the names of two makers and three owners
survived on 4 of the vessels. Of the 13, 7 were donated to the Society
of Antiquaries by the landowner, Charles Loraine Bell of Woolsington.
The cauldron disappeared before the publication of the group in volume
XIII of the Northumberland County History (1926) and the other 5 pieces
subsequently also vanished.
