Since my most recent community activities update last month I’ve raised over 65 queries with the authorities on behalf of residents and businesses across the Blackhalls & Hesledens ward.
I've also been in direct contact with more than 85 individual residents. Almost all of these queries are personal and/or confidential so for obvious reasons details cannot and 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 Blackhall PACT meetings and through other methods, including direct contact with me via telephone, email and my social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram and Bluesky).
The main issues covered this month include schoolchildren's ideas about improving our communities, an update on streetlighting repairs at Blackhall Rocks, measures to protect public sites from unauthorised encampment or trespass and details of a new PACT meeting for Hesleden. I’ve selected just a few of the articles about these issues for re-posting, just in case you missed them first time around.
Please follow the links below for full details, and as usual if you have any queries or comments that require a response please get in touch with me direct at: rob.crute@durham.gov.uk
