A few weeks ago I published an article updating on details of our recent street walkabout in Hesleden. In that piece I mentioned that arrangements were underway for a street walkabout to take place in Station Town, hopefully some time in March: You can find full details here: https://robcrute-blackhall.blogspot.com/2023/02/street-walkabout-in-hesleden.html
Due to conflicting diaries and work commitments within the different teams that would normally take part the walkabout has unavoidably been slightly delayed and has now been confirmed by the community safety team to be going ahead on Tuesday 4 April 2023.
As with the other villages in our patch the walkabout will focus on general environmental issues such as littering and fly-tipping, but given issues reported to us previously about empty homes in the area we’ve asked officers to carry out some preliminary work on abandoned, private-sector homes in the village.
I’ll report back on developments after the walkabout has taken place, but in the meantime if there are any particular matters you would like the team to take a look at before or during the walkabout please get in touch at: rob.crute@durham.gov.uk or stacey.deinali@durham.gov.uk
