I have arranged to meet with the parish clerk, neighbourhood wardens, police and the street cleansing manager next week in an attempt to tackle a number of ongoing environmental issues in Blackhall Colliery.
Regular visitors to this site will be aware from my posts that there has been quite an increase in reports of dog fouling, fly-tipping and accumulations of litter and rubbish in the village recently.
Many incidents of fly-tipping are reported in secluded areas such as garage sites and disused buildings, particularly in the rear yards of empty privately rented houses. I have also received an increased number of complaints about litter in the streets too.
I am already dealing with a number of problem sites in Middle Street and Second Street, amongst others, but if you are aware of any long-term problem areas please let me know before next Monday evening on:
rob.crute@durham.gov.uk or contact Envirocall-Easington@durham.gov.uk and copy me in to your email.
