📢 HAVE YOUR SAY ON DURHAM COUNTY COUNCIL'S BUDGET

Durham County Council is asking residents to share their views on proposals that will help shape council services and spending over the next four years.

💷 The Council is facing significant financial pressures, with a projected budget shortfall of £83.6 million over the next four years.

To help address this, the Council is considering further savings, changes to how services are delivered and potential Council Tax increases.

Your views matter! These decisions could affect local services, so residents are encouraged to take part in the consultation.

📅 Consultation closes Sunday 15th November 2026.

💻 Have your say online:

📄 Paper copies can also be requested from Durham County Council libraries.

There are also online information sessions where residents can learn more about the proposals and ask questions. Details are available through the consultation link.

Please take a few minutes to share your views and help shape the future of services across County Durham.

☀️ What a busy summer we’ve had! ☀️

We have been pleased to support a fantastic range of free activities for local children and families over the summer.

We kicked things off with our annual Station Town Fun Day on 19th July, with free entertainment and activities for everyone to enjoy.

Throughout the school holidays, we also joined forces with Wingate Parish Council and Creative Youth Opportunities to provide a programme of free summer activities at Wingate Welfare Park, giving children plenty to do during the break.

To round things off, local children and families also joined Wingate Parish Council for a brilliant away day to South Shields.

A big thank you to everyone who came along, helped organise the activities and made them possible. We hope everyone who took part had a great summer!
