Street Walkabout & Environmental issues in Blackhall Colliery

Following a street walkabout in Blackhall Colliery this morning the following issues have been raised with the authorities for their attention:

The side waste in the back lane between Fourth and Fifth Streets has been reported this morning for collection. Given the ongoing vermin infestation at a private property near this location it’s probably best that residents don’t leave food waste in the street.

Fly-tipping in the back lane between Second and Third Streets has also been reported for collection.

The worn and badly damaged road surface at the top of the back lane between Fourth and Fifth Streets (directly behind the Hardwick) has been reported to the highways department at Durham County Council for inspection and repair.

Given this weekend is an extended Bank Holiday there may be some delays in addressing these issues but I’ll update on progress as soon as I have more information. 

In the meantime, if you have any issues you would like me to know about please get in touch at: rob.crute@durham.gov.uk
