Local Issues & Casework Update for October/November 2024

Since my most recent monthly local issues and casework update report I’ve raised queries with the authorities on behalf of 58 residents and businesses across the Blackhall ward. I've also made direct contact with more than 65 individual residents. These queries are largely personal and/or confidential so for obvious reasons details will not be disclosed to the public.


In addition, I’ve dealt with a number of general queries raised by members of the public. These include issues raised at ward surgeries, during street walkabouts, at the monthly Blackhall PACT meeting and through other methods, including direct contact with me via telephone, email and my social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram and Bluesky).


These issues range from highways and footpath queries, housing matters and general environmental issues. I’ve selected a few for re-posting, just in case you missed them first time around.

Please follow the links below for full details - and please don't hesitate to get in touch with me direct if you have any queries or comments that require a response: rob.crute@durham.gov.uk
