Disappointment as play area at Oakerside Drive closed again

By

Photo of damage caused to trampoline at Oakerside Drive play area Photo of damage caused to trampoline at Oakerside Drive play area

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We’re absolutely gutted to have closed the play area at Oakerside Drive again due to vandalism.

The trampoline has been targeted this time, and it’s likely to be some time before we can get the parts sorted to get it up and running safely again.

This is criminal damage, and the costs associated with fixing the damage comes from Council Tax payments from Peterlee residents.

If you have any information about who might have been responsible please help us by reporting to the Police through the 101 service, or anonymously via Crimestoppers online https://bit.ly/2IDcoVI or by phone 0800 555 111; or you can contact the Council directly via FB messenger or email council@peterlee.gov.uk

We’ll get the park opened up as soon as we can.  We know that the vast majority of people who visit the play area at Oakerside really enjoy and respected the place and we’re sorry that the mindless acts of a few has spoiled things for the many. If you can help us catch the culprits please let us know. 👍

Great start to the half term school holidays at Woodhouse Park yesterday!

The children (and adults!) loved it, as you can see from the photos captured below.
Big thank you to Keith who led the workshop and made it such an enjoyable experience for everyone.
This was a free fun workshop in partnership with East Durham Area Action Partnership (AAP) and Fun & Food County Durham and each child received a healthy lunc

King Charles III Coronation – Saturday 6th May 2023

By

On Saturday 6th May 2023, King Charles III will become the fortieth Sovereign to be crowned at Westminster Abbey, with The Queen Consort being crowned beside him.

Westminster Abbey has been the setting for every Coronation since 1066, with William the Conqueror being the first monarch to be crowned there.

The Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II was the first to be televised and for most people, it was the first time they had watched an event on television.

Their Majesties’ Coronation will be the first to be live-streamed via social media.

For more information on the Coronation weekend you can visit www.royal.uk/coronation

Ready to celebrate the #Coronation? Get involved by watching live as King Charles III and Queen Camilla are crowned in Westminster Abbey.

God Save The King!

Closed Season at Shotton Hall Angling Club – No Fishing in the month of May

By

Well, it’s oh-fish-ially Closed Season

There is no fishing permitted at Shotton Hall Pond during every calendar month of May. This is to broadly coincide with the coarse fish spawning season. This also gives the pond and surroundings a rest and allows improvement work to be carried out.

Anyone fishing the pond during this closed season will be asked to leave and will be banned from the Shotton Hall Angling Club syndicate.

The pond will re-open on Thursday 1st June 2023.
