July 1st 2003 - Newbiggin Life (Local Initiative for Everyone) Newbiggin Life project managers and representatives from Newbiggin Community Action Partnership deliver a presentation to community leaders to explain the details of the plans to revitalise the village. Project Director John Johnston explained that the public launch was "the start of the village-wide consultation process" that would begin with several key 'trigger projects', including 64 new homes on the sites currently occupied by the Poultry Farm and disused scrap yard at Woodhorn - now to be known as Woodhorn Farm. Newbiggin Community Action Partnership Chairman Mike Goodman said it was "the start of a new era...it looks like a very rosy future for Newbiggin". The project will now move 'beyond the planning stage' and put some of the ideas generated over the past months and years into practice, with continued public consultation. The information details proposals for a new Gateway entrance to the village, improvements to other entrances to the village, and the first new-build housing for almost 20 years.
