Community Activities Update for September 2025

Over the past month I’ve raised over 50 queries with the authorities on behalf of residents and businesses across the Blackhalls & Hesledens ward. I've also been in direct contact with more than 65 individual residents. Almost all of these queries are personal and/or confidential so for obvious reasons details cannot be disclosed to the public. 

In addition, I’ve dealt with a number of general queries raised with me by members of the public. These include issues raised at my twice-monthly ward surgeries, during street walkabouts, at PACT meetings and through other methods, including direct contact with me via telephone, email and my social media platforms.

The main issues covered over the past few weeks include details of a residents' campaign group set up to oppose the Benridge Solar Farm proposal, the annual Pass Wide & Slow campaign event and the latest developments in the Proppa Jobs campaign to bring much needed employment opportunities to East Durham. 

I’ve selected just a few of the articles about these issues for re-posting, just in case you missed them first time around.

Please follow the individual links below for full details, and as ever if you have any comments or queries regarding any local issues please get in touch with me direct and I'll see what I can do to help: rob.crute@durham.gov.uk

Residents' campaign to oppose Benridge Solar Farm

A group of local residents opposed to the construction of a solar farm at Benridge Farm got in touch with me and the parish council clerk recently to look at ways we can work together on a campaign to urge residents to register their objections to the proposal.

Background details to the planning application that would see a solar farm built on a significant expanse of productive arable land around Benridge Farm on Fillpoke Lane between High Hesleden and Crimdon can be found here in a post I published a few weeks ago: Benridge Solar Farm planning application submitted 

Last week I met with the residents group and the parish council clerk to discuss the planning application for the solar farm in more detail, and also look at how we can encourage residents to contact the local planning authority (in this case Durham County Council) with their own objections. 

The main points of interest (and objection) raised last week included concerns about the impact the solar farm would have on nearby settlements, primarily in Blackhall Rocks, Monk Hesleden, High Hesleden and Hesleden, but also in neighbouring communities where the noise and disruption from the solar farm would likely have a considerable impact, both during the construction phase and also when the solar farm is up and running. It was noted that a solar farm operation in nearby Hulam and Sheraton had generated considerable noise which is having a negative impact on residents in neighbouring villages.

Apart from discussing and registering our own objections we felt it was vital to make as many residents as possible aware of the Benridge solar farm plans, and also to encourage them to make the planning authority aware of any concerns they might have too.

I've listed further down this post some of the concerns raised last week, and I'll be forming them into my own letter of objection soon. In the meantime if you have any concerns about this proposal, or if you're unsure about how to register your objections, please look out for the campaign page on Facebook where you can find examples of objection letters submitted so far: Residents against Filpoke Lane Solar Farm (Benridge Farm) 

The main objections to the solar farm planning application are formed around what are known as material planning considerations which the planning committee will need to rely on if we are to be successful in persuading them of our argument. For example, there may well be claims that a development of this nature will have a negative effect on property values. That is a real concern for many residents but unfortunately members of the planning committee cannot use examples like that to reject a planning application. 

Instead it was recognised that we'll need to use material planning considerations to convince planning committee members that they should refuse consent to go ahead with the proposed solar farm development. These points of contention should be based mainly on the issues set out below, all of which are included in objections lodged so far and will be covered in more detail in my own letter of objection to be published on this site as soon as it's completed:

• Impact on Agricultural Land
• Impact on Heritage Assets (Visual & Landscape)
• Noise and Disruption (during Construction, Operation and Maintenance)
• BESS (Battery & Energy Storage System)
• Impact of Electromagnetic Fields
• Access and Traffic issues
• Environmental issues (Flora & Fauna)
• Fire Risk (BESS)
• Restrictive Covenants (including Public Rights of Way)

This list of issues is not intended to be exhaustive, and other points of interest are likely to come to light as we make progress with the campaign.

I'll publish more details of the campaign as it develops, but in the meantime please make every effort to submit your own comments/objections to the council. 

I've included a direct link below to the council's planning portal, where you'll be able to see full details of the planning application, alongside all objectors' comments published to date. You can also use this link to submit your own objections:

Local concerns about the roundabout on the B1281 in Blackhall Colliery

I was contacted by a resident on social media earlier this morning concerned about driving practices associated with the roundabout on the B1281 installed by Gleeson as part of their ongoing housing development nearby:

As our MP I am writing to raise an urgent road-safety issue concerning the roundabout at B1281/Hesleden Road by the Gleeson new build estate that as our MP you need to fight for us before something seriously happens. There are numerous neighbours that can give you statements as to what has happened as we have all escaped danger by inches.

The roundabout is positioned noticeably off-centre toward the left, creating what is effectively a straight stretch of road for traffic coming up from Blackhalls Main Street. Drivers frequently approach at speeds of around 60 mph and some travel the wrong way around the roundabout. Yesterday I was nearly hit while walking my dog, and only narrowly avoided a serious accident because the driver had to emergency stop.

Children regularly use this crossing to reach the park and local shop, as there is no footpath on the right side of the road towards Blackhall Main Street. This combination of design flaws and reckless driving creates an unacceptable danger for residents.

I ask that you urgently:

1. Press for a lower speed limit on this stretch, reflecting its residential nature.

2. Support the installation of traffic-calming measures, such as speed humps with spikes to deter wrong-way driving which will provide evidence of these dangerous drivers or raised tables, to force vehicles to slow down and deter wrong-way driving.

3. Request a full safety audit of the roundabout layout to address the off-centre design that encourages straight-through speeding.

While the developer, Gleeson, claims the issue is purely driver behaviour, the road layout clearly contributes to the hazard. Residents should not have to wait for a serious injury or fatality before action is taken.

I would appreciate your immediate attention and a response outlining what steps you can take to ensure this dangerous situation is addressed.

Thank you for your time and support.

Yours sincerely,

I've raised the resident's concerns with the highways authority at Durham County Council and I've also forwarded them to the the office of Grahame Morris MP and the traffic management team at Durham police.

I've also offered to host an onsite meeting for the relevant parties to consider all options in addressing local concerns about this matter if necessary. I'll update on progress as soon as I have responses from all the relevant authorities.

In the meantime the backstory to this issue can be found here: Concerns raised with police and highways authority about dangerous driving practices on the B1281

Proppa Jobs Campaign looks to bring innovative new employment scheme to East Durham

On Wednesday morning (17 September) I met in Durham with county planners and directors of the Proppa Jobs Campaign (PJC), a community interest company led by local lad Pip Fallow, to see how I could help to support and develop PJC's campaign to bring an innovative project to East Durham - initially through its Project Datafields project.

In its own words the PJC's proposal seeks to establish a plan to develop one or more data centre sites in East Durham and harness pioneering mine water cooling technology to attract new businesses to the area. The project is part of PJC's wider campaign to reindustrialise and regenerate the coalfield villages of East Durham.

Following extensive consultation with local communities over the past two years the PJC is ready now to move into the first of its three phases to bring to life an exciting new initiative that has the potential to bring much-needed jobs to Blackhall Colliery, Horden and Easington on the East Durham coast. 

All three settlements led the way in coal production during the 20th century, but since the pits were closed the former-colliery sites have remained unused. The PJC has seen an opportunity here to utilise those sites through Project DataFields, designed to tune into a burgeoning global tech industry.

The specifics of the proposal are focused on using abundant supplies of underground mine water to cool data centres - something that would reduce the running costs of data centres, attracting associated businesses to East Durham and ultimately acting as a catalyst to bring much needed high end jobs to our pit communities.

The first phase of the scheme includes securing seed funding to run a Research & Development project to pilot the efficiency of using disused mine water to cool data centres. At the same time the intention is to earmark the use of former mining sites by re-zoning potential industrial locations in the county council's County Durham Plan which is scheduled for revision from this year.

Integral to the project's success is local and political buy-in. To that end, the PJC invited elected local county councillors from East Durham to come along to discuss how barriers can be broken down, clearing the way to implement the subsequent phases of the project - hence the meeting held yesterday.

One of the first steps discussed yesterday was establishing a local working group to include local government officials, elected county councillors, the Mining Regeneration Authority and of course members of the PJC with the intention of steering the project through each of its individual stages. 

As stated by PJC the potential outcomes of Project DataFields include:

Jobs: focused primarily on construction and operational jobs in data centres, maintenance work, cooling and plant engineers, security work and logistics. There are also indirect employment opportunities in sector services and the associated supply chain

Economic Activity: boosting local and regional economies, increasing the local tax base and bringing forward new business entrants

Carbon Reduction & Sustainability: leading to reduced energy consumption, pairing with associated renewable energy initiatives, lowering water consumption, potential reductions in dependence on grid electricity and a reduced carbon footprint

Rebalancing the Regional Economy: to be achieved by addressing historic underinvestment in former coalmining communities, reusing derelict pit sites, reducing the impact of commuting to nearby towns and villages and increasing social cohesion

Reputational Integrity: in leading the way in mine water cooling techniques and attracting additional innovation, R&D initiatives and exportable local expertise

From the potential benefits outlined above it looks to me that PJC has tapped into an exciting new innovation that could have a tangible and transformative impact on our communities in Blackhall Colliery, Horden and Easington. But the scheme is still at its early stages and needs the buy-in of our local communities and decision-makers in local, regional and national government to bring it to life.

From what I've seen so far I think the Project DataFields initiative deserves wholehearted support, and I've assured the PJC that I'll help where I can as the scheme progresses.

The next steps include establishing the local steering group mentioned above and then applying for feasibility and R&D funding to guide the way forward. PJC are actively working to establish those first steps and they've assured local communities that they'll continue to be at the heart of the project and will be kept up to date with progress as the scheme develops.

Young people look to their heritage and culture to build hope for the future

On Thursday evening (11 September) I was delighted to represent the Durham Miners' Association at the closing ceremony of a mining-themed exhibition held at the Dead Dog Gallery in Durham City. The event drew to a close a display of images taken in and around our colliery villages by well-known photographer Mark Pinder, and the closing event last night was combined with news from a couple of banner groups in Langley Park and Bearpark. 

As for the exhibition itself, anyone who has been along to see it will have been hugely impressed by Mark's beautiful and evocative images, many in black and white, taken in the pit villages of County Durham, and with a significant emphasis on the communities along the coast between Easington and Blackhall Colliery. Mark also has a significant back-catalogue of images stretching back to the 1980s. The quality of his work has never faltered.

Also on display at the exhibition was the new Bearpark miners' banner which had been blessed in the Cathedral earlier this year during the Big Meeting. It's a magnificent piece of work, completed by the peerless Durham Bannermakers after the community raised funds through a series of campaigns. 

Incidentally, Durham Bannermakers will be well known to members of the Blackhall Banner Group who invited Emma Shankland to help us design and then create the current Blackhall DMA banner back in 2019. Emma's Mam and Dad, Lotte and Hugh, were also involved with our banner group 25 years ago when we had a near replica of the 1977 banner made. The sublime quality of the Durham Bannermakers artwork, both past and present, remains unsurpassed, and if you'd like to see their work the 2002 Blackhall banner adorns the wall of the concert hall in Blackhall Community Centre, while the 1977 version is on display in the Hardwick Hotel in Middle Street.

Although until last night I'd never been to the Dead Dog Gallery in the grounds of Durham Sixth Form college down by the river, I was struck by the design of the building, and particularly the exhibition space which stands as a testament to the hard work and dedication of the staff and students at the college. Initiatives like the gallery play a key role in bringing the story of our mining heritage to a wider audience across County Durham and beyond, and I was pleased to hear from the college staff that they have other exhibitions in the pipeline.

Over many years the Durham Miners' Association, the Durham Big Meeting and the Pitmen's Parliament at the magnificently restored Redhills Miners' Hall have played a vital role in preserving and promoting the rich history, culture and heritage of our proud pit communities. Together with exhibitions like the one at the Dead Dog Gallery they are as vital today as they've ever been in standing as a bulwark against a rising tide of division and discord in our communities, generated largely by a decade and a half of government austerity, pernicious economic disparity between rich and poor and the concentration of wealth at the top 1% of society to the detriment of the rest of us. Combined with a feeling that no one is listening to our communities, this creates a resentment that needs to be addressed.

In troubled times like this the messages and slogans on our banners are a timely reminder of how we've always stood together in times of adversity: 'Need Before Greed', 'For the Many, Not the Few' and perhaps above all at the moment 'Unity is Strength'. Those epithets on so many of our wonderful banners send out a powerful message and teach us lessons from past struggles. They show us that if we're going to fight back, standing together as one community is the only realistic way forward.

Perhaps the most exciting aspect of last night's exhibition was to see that many young people are organising in our communities to promote the unique culture and heritage of our pit villages. Jack Pringle is a young lad from Langley Park who attended the Big Meeting recently and realised that the village didn't have a banner to take into Durham. He could have just shrugged it off and left it to someone else to sort out. But he didn't. He got a group of local people together and formed the Langley Park Miners' Banner Campaign, with the aim of raising enough money to commission a new banner for the village. Amazingly the group has managed to raise almost £15k in double-quick time, and are now preparing to design their new banner in the hope it'll be ready for the big day next July.

Jack's experience is an almost identical reflection of my own a few years ago. At the Big Meeting in 2000 I was approached by a number of people asking why the Blackhall banner wasn't at the event. The truth is, the banner had become a bit tattered from over-use during the 1984-85 Miners' Strike and many other events including an appearance on the picket lines in 1986 during the print workers strike at Wapping, so it wasn't really in any condition for a day in Durham. So to put this right, within days of the 2000 Big Meeting, the nucleus of a banner committee had been pulled together ready to hold its first meeting in August of that year. The rest, as they say, is history. 

I wish Jack and the Langley Park campaign members every success in commissioning their new banner and I look forward to seeing them all on the bustling streets of Durham next year on the second Saturday in July.

The Durham Miners' Association has a motto: 'The Past we Inherit. The Future we Build', and to me that short slogan neatly epitomises everything that our pit communities are about. They were founded, fought for and sustained by past generations, and young people from our villages are now building on their heritage and culture to pass on to the next generation.

They are breathing colour and life into our DMA slogan because they understand that if we lose sight of our connection with the past, we risk losing hope for the future.

Local Pass Wide & Slow event 2025

There's a definite hint of Autumn in the air which means it must be time for the annual Pass Wide & Slow event, organised again this year by a local horse-riding group led by Blackhall's own Denise Richardson.

This morning’s event was hosted by Glenn and Leisa at the Easy Fuels depot at South Blackhalls Farm in Blackhall Rocks and was one of many held across the country over this weekend. The main focus of both local and national campaigns is to highlight the dangers horse riders face when drivers pass at speed or fail to allow sufficient space when overtaking. 

The main aims of the campaign are to promote awareness of the dangers faced by horses and their riders and to encourage drivers to reduce speed to a maximum 10mph and allow a gap of at least 2m when passing individuals or groups of horse riders. Full details can be found on the Pass Wide & Slow website here: About

Once again Durham police came along to the event this morning and led the procession from Blackhall Rocks to Hesleden Road in Blackhall Colliery, back along the Coast Road and up Mickle Hill Road towards Hesleden. I was also there as usual to give my support to the campaign.

Please take a moment to have a look at the local and national campaign material and think about how you can play your part in helping to promote better road safety by passing wide and slow when approaching horse-riders.

Highway repair works to begin at Glenholme Terrace within the next 14 days

Last week I contacted the council again to ask for potholes to be repaired along the back lane behind Glenholme Terrace in Blackhall. This follows a long-drawn out series of requests over the past couple of years - with repairs delayed because of a dispute over who actually owned the road and who had responsibility for carrying out repairs. Please see full details here: Request for resurfacing works behind Glenholme Terrace

I've now received confirmation that highways works have been added to the council's works programme and that because of the severity of the defects works are expected to be carried out within the next 14 days.

Thank you for your recent report about road or footpath at or near to Glenholme Terrace, Blackhall Colliery, TS27 4HU, reference number FS-Case-747564174.

Your report has been added to the ongoing work programme and will be processed in line with the repairs policy.

We programme repairs based on the severity of the defect and the type of road or footpath on which it is situated. In this case we aim to complete the necessary works within the next 14 days.

Request for an update on repair works at The Crescent

As residents will be aware I’ve issued repeated requests for repairs to be carried out to the severely damaged road surface at The Crescent in Blackhall Colliery.

In the early stages I was told by the council that the defects were not sufficient to warrant repair works. Then late last year I was assured that works had been added to the works programme - and still the road remains in a dangerous and unsightly condition.

Earlier today I contacted the council again with a request for an update on the works programme, and asked specifically for a date when resurfacing works would begin. I’ve also asked to meet on site with highways officers to give me an opportunity to impress on them the desperate need for repair works at this location.

I’ll update on progress as soon as I have a response from the service.

Request for resurfacing works behind Glenholme Terrace

For some time now I've tried, with varying degrees of success, to get the back lane behind Glenholme Terrace resurfaced. I'm told repeatedly that the road is not owned by Durham County Council and that they will not carry out repairs on private property - despite the dreadful condition of the surface in some parts.

It looks like there's some level of confusion about responsibility for repairing the road at this location. From the images I've taken this morning it's obvious that some resurfacing has been carried out in the past, and the work itself looks as though it's been done professionally. However, further up the lane, towards where the WMC once was, the surface of the road looks as though it's never been resurfaced.

Following conversations recently with one or two of the residents nearby I've resubmitted a request for the whole of the surface to be inspected and for repair works to be carried out to bring the road up to a decent standard.

I'll update on the outcome of my latest request, but in the meantime please follow this link for more background information on this long-running issue: Highways, housing and footpath repair queries

Benridge Solar Farm planning application submitted

I've received advance notification this morning of a planning application to install a solar farm on land adjacent to Benridge Farm on Fillpoke Lane between Crimdon and High Hesleden.

Full details of the application can be found in this link which will take you direct to the Durham County Council planning portal: DM/25/01964/FPA | Installation of a solar farm together with all associated works, equipment and necessary infrastructure including battery storage. | Land To The East, South And West Of Benridge Farm, Fillpoke Lane Blackhall Rocks TS27 4BT

Durham County Council will be in recess from Friday, meaning there'll be limited opportunity for contact with relevant officers. In addition, many of our residents may be away on their summer break, so the timing of the planning application isn't at all helpful.However, I've asked the planning department to allow for an extended period of time for interested parties to respond to the public consultation. This would also allow additional time to gauge public reaction to the proposal I previously asked for an extensive consultation exercise so all directly affected residents should receive formal written notification soon. The full neighbourhood notification list of addresses can be found in the planning portal link.I'm hoping to meet soon with residents to discuss the planning proposal in more detail and decide a way forward, but in the meantime please make every effort to submit your comments/objections to the planning office using the link above.For background information on this planning application please go to the following links:

• 16 February 2025: Proposed Solar Farm at Fillpoke Lane - Lessons from Sheraton
• 19 February 2025: Company launches 3 week public consultation on Benridge Solar Farm plans

Reform UK - the party of 'free speech' - votes to close down debate on council motions

At a full county council meeting held on Wednesday 16 July Reform UK members tabled a motion combining two unrelated issues - an unusual move with little if any precedence.

A look at the agenda papers circulated in advance of the meeting show that the motion tabled by Reform UK conflated two completely separate issues; abandoning the climate emergency declaration and at the same time diverting additional funding into both children’s social care services and for children with SEND requirements.

Opposition members tabled an amendment to strike out the reference to the climate emergency declaration which would have enabled Labour members to support the remaining elements relating to CSC and SEND funding, and would almost certainly have led to unanimous approval across the council. 

However, every Reform UK member rejected the amendment and instead voted to maintain the motion as tabled. That meant members were left with the options of either voting to ditch the climate emergency declaration (which we were not prepared to do), or to vote against the unamended motion as tabled which would have had the effect of opposition members seen to be voting against additional funding for CSC and SEND (obviously this is precisely what Reform UK members hoped for when they tabled the motion). The third option, the only one we could take in all conscience, was to abstain.

To make matters worse, as you’ll see if you watch the recording of the meeting on You Tube, the entire Reform UK contingent voted against suspending standing orders which would have allowed members to debate the remaining motions on the agenda. This had the effect of closing down any further discussion.

It was a disappointing day for all concerned, especially as the guillotine imposed by Reform UK on the remaining motions denied several opposition members the opportunity to address the council. I’d indicated early in proceedings that I intended to speak on the motion but I was timed-out, along with several other opposition members. I should acknowledge that the tactics deployed by Reform UK members are in accordance with the council's constitution, but nonetheless it's a curious way to conduct business by a party claiming to support the freedom of speech and expression. 

Hopefully any members of the public who watched the council proceedings on Wednesday will see through Reform UK’s performative claptrap, and will also recognise their unseemly eagerness to avoid further debate once their own motion was in the bag. 

We'll now have to wait and see how much the council will save by abandoning the climate emergency declaration, and how much ring-fenced funding might now have to be returned to funders. In addition, we'll be pressing the Reform UK administration to publish details of all the cash benefits accrued by directly linking any savings from from ditching the climate change policy and a significant uplift in the council's own funding for children's social care and services for children with special educational needs and disabilities. 

Both issues feature prominently in the Children's & Young People's Overview and Scrutiny Committee's work programme for 2025/26 - and that'll prove the acid test in determining whether what we saw on Wednesday was a genuine attempt to transfer climate change funding directly into children's services or if it was simply another performative display designed to divert public attention away from Reform UK's struggle to hold its administration together.    

Reports of speeding vehicles and dangerous driving in Hesleden

Over the weekend a resident contacted me expressing concerns about road safety on Gray Avenue in Hesleden following a traffic-related incident there on Saturday. I'm advised that the incident was reported to the police so as a first step I’ll contact them to ask for more information about the accident.

By way of background I was last contacted about speeding vehicles on Gray Avenue in October 2023. At the time the police carried out a community speedwatch exercise which was inconclusive in showing any specific incidents of speeding vehicles (apparently no vehicles were recorded exceeding the speed limit during the course of the exercise). 

However, that was just a snapshot in time on a particular day so any reports of an increase in daily reckless driving incidents since then must be taken seriously by the authorities. With that in mind, as soon as I have more information from the police I’ll also contact the highways authority with a request they liaise with the police to come up with a range of options to reduce the risk of accidents caused by dangerous driving practices and speeding vehicles on Gray Avenue.

As a community we should all have the safety of children and young people foremost in our minds and at the top of the agenda in everything we do. This includes addressing the risks associated with speeding vehicles and dangerous driving whenever they come to light, especially where it is reported to be happening on a daily basis. Those concerns are likely to be heightened now that the school holidays have begun so I’ll make every effort to press the authorities to consider installing any traffic calming measures on Gray Avenue that will address residents’ concerns.

An evidence base of regular incidents will be invaluable in building support for measures to tackle local road safety concerns at this location, so if residents have any similar incidents to report please contact the police on every occasion. If you have any difficulty in contacting the police let me know and I'll take it up on your behalf. 

I’ll raise local awareness of this issue on social media in the hope it prompts other residents to report any future incidents to the police.

Community Activities Update for June 2025

Since my most recent community activities update last month I’ve raised over 65 queries with the authorities on behalf of residents and businesses across the Blackhalls & Hesledens ward. 

I've also been in direct contact with more than 85 individual residents. Almost all of these queries are personal and/or confidential so for obvious reasons details cannot and will not be disclosed to the public.

In addition, I’ve dealt with a number of general queries raised by members of the public. These include issues raised at ward surgeries, during street walkabouts, at the Blackhall PACT meetings and through other methods, including direct contact with me via telephone, email and my social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram and Bluesky).

The main issues covered this month include schoolchildren's ideas about improving our communities, an update on streetlighting repairs at Blackhall Rocks, measures to protect public sites from unauthorised encampment or trespass and details of a new PACT meeting for Hesleden. I’ve selected just a few of the articles about these issues for re-posting, just in case you missed them first time around.

Please follow the links below for full details, and as usual if you have any queries or comments that require a response please get in touch with me direct at: rob.crute@durham.gov.uk
