An hour and a half walkabout of the area on Friday with Durham City Homes officer unearthed a wide range of issues to get sorted out most of them for the Council.

Various property repairs including to flats at Priory Road.

The aftermath of flytipping at Frankland Road garages in dire need of clean up, which has been passed to the Council’s clean and green team and Durham City Homes officers for urgent action. I was really surprised at just how bad this area was and will be checking up on it again:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Elsewhere, it was good to see the old Brackenfield Road garages coming down. The new driveways our pressure helped to secure are set to be installed in the coming weeks along the road and the garage site will be available for additional parking too.

 

 

 

 

Perhaps not as important to some – but as I see it, we need to keep the area clean – the leaf rubbish still along Priory Road after the Spruce up by the council, needs attention and has been reported. In some areas the number of parked cars makes it difficult for the Council to get in there and tidy up.

 

 

 

 

Likewise on pavements on Lilac Avenue for example – not a huge mess but does pull the area down.

 

 

 

 

 

 

We also reported numerous other small issues. Let us know if there is something in this or any other area you feel needs attention.
