National Park Authority

Our 18 members meet regularly to make decisions on matters relating to the functions of the National Park Authority. These meetings take place throughout the year, usually at the Northumberland National Park Offices in Hexham.

At the Authority Annual Meeting on 21 June 2023, Ms Jean Davidson was re-elected Authority Chair and Cllr Denis Mullan was elected Deputy Chair until the date of the Annual Meeting in 2024.
