As in previous years I will be laying a wreath at the memorial garden in the Welfare Park on behalf of the members of Durham County Council. With the assistance of the clerk and admin staff of Monk Hesleden Parish Council I have also arranged for a buffet reception to be made available at Blackhall Cricket Club immediately after the ceremony has ended. Everyone will be made welcome, so please feel free to call into the club after the service.
My county council colleague Stacey Deinali has made similar arrangements for the Remembrance Sunday service to be held at the memorial on Myra Avenue in Hesleden. A buffet reception to be held after the ceremony at Hesleden Workingmens’ Club.
Please note that a stopping-up order has been issued to restrict traffic on Myra Avenue in Hesleden from 10.30am to 11.15am on the day of the service. This is to ensure the safety of residents and other attendees.
