Monthly update for November 2023

November was another busy month in Blackhall, Hesleden, Crimdon and the surrounding area, with local issues ranging from the monthly Blackhall PACT meeting, excess water on the roads, Christmas Tree lighting services, the Remembrance Sunday commemorations and the campaign to oppose the county council cabinet's proposals to introduce parking charges at Crimdon.
