UPDATE ON OLD BEACON LANE

We have submitted another lengthy response (7 pages) to the Local Government Ombudsman commenting on Durham County Councils reply to our complaint. The whole process is very detailed and the Local Government Ombudsman is asking searching questions - particularly of Durham County Council.

The Local Government Ombudsman is due to visit Durham County Council - she has already visited Sedgefield and we had a successful meeting with her.

The correspondence is very lengthy which makes it very difficult to circulate. But please contact me if you would like to see it (mikealangibson@aol.com or phone 01740 622323).

We still have not had a response from our MP or his agent. We have not given up trying.

PM SUPPORTS ACTION ON OLD BEACON LANE

DOVE (Defend Our Village Environment) presented a petition from residents of the village of Sedgefield to Rt Hon Tony Blair seeking his support to protect Old Beacon Lane from the many anti social behaviour activities.

Following the presentation, which described the current problems including Stockton Old Road, the Prime Minister gave his support and promised to report back in September.

We will give a full report of the Prime Ministers response (as well as the outcome of our complaint to the Local Government Ombudsman) at the next public meeting.
