Conclusions 41 9. References 45 10. Appendices 48 2 1. Executive Summary • Recent research has highlighted an increasing separation of work and residential location as commuting journey lengths increase. This is particularly the case for rural residents, who tend to have longer commutes than urban residents. Whilst commuters bring money to their place of residence that has been earned outside the locality, they also represent a leakage of money from the locality often commuting for work is associated with commuting for other activities, including retail and leisure spending.

    THE PARISHES OF TWEEDMOUTH SPITTAL SCREMERSTON Parish Profile 2019 1 Parishes of Tweedmouth, Spittal & Scremerston, Diocese of Newcastle, Parish Profile Contents The Parishes of Tweedmouth, Spittal & Scremerston 3 Tweedmouth, St Bartholomew & St Boisil 5 Spittal, St John the Evangelist 11 Scremerston, St Peter’s 17 Finance, the three parishes 20 Maps of parishes – see separate pdf 2 Parishes of Tweedmouth, Spittal & Scremerston, Diocese of Newcastle, Parish Profile The Parishes of Tweedmouth, Spittal, and Scremerston ‘POTSS’ These three parishes (in process of becoming a united benefice) on the southern flank of the River Tweed as it approaches the North Sea, have worked closely together now for several years. Scremerston is based on its coal-mining heritage – the ‘Pit’. Spittal has its seaside heritage – the ‘Prom’. For Tweedmouth a maritime heritage – the ‘Port’. These are our foundations. In shape the parishes are very different – a village, a small town, a larger town; but in the churches we share a great deal, especially our human resources. Across the three parishes there are only two other locations for Christian worship. Berwick URC in Spittal has a small congregation and no minister at present. We support them in every way we can and they attended St John’s Christmas Day Service. In East Ord Village Hall there is a monthly service by a church plant charismatic congregation, begun by Vineyard but now independent. Our parishes are active members of Berwick Churches Together. Clergy and Lay Ministry Normally we have a parish priest who oversees the three parishes, living in Tweedmouth Vicarage, supported by a House-for Duty Assistant Priest living in Spittal Vicarage.
