PETERLEE REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY PARADE 2022

By

Peterlee had a fantastic turn out for our the Remembrance Sunday Parade held on 13th November 2022.
It was lovely to see a lot of younger ones this year. The Mayor of Peterlee, Councillor Rob Moore had the honour and privilege of laying the wreath on behalf of the Town Council.
Here are a few photos from the Parade.

BIN THERE, DONE THAT! PROJECT

By

Keep your eyes peeled  for some bright new bins in Woodhouse Park off Balliol Close in Peterlee with a great new I ❤WHP logo.
Peterlee Town Council’s Neighbourhood Services department has worked with 4 young people from the Durham Works youth justice service and a local graffiti artist for a ‘Bin There, Done That’ community art project in the park.
The Town Council provided some old bins to be ‘upcycled’, while the Youth Justice Service provided the funding for the graffiti artist that worked with the young people to design and ‘tag’ the logos onto the renovated bins.
Woodhouse Park has recently received the coveted Green Flag award and the Town Council has a fantastic relationship with a range of local community groups who get involved in the maintenance and development of this great public open space.
The young people who were involved in this project all wanted to give something back to the community, learn new skills, get involved in art, and to be part of developing a project and seeing it completed. The group also wanted to make a positive fun impact on their community which was relatable to young people.
The bins have been placed in Woodhouse Park and the Council will be looking to use the I ❤WHP brand when promoting the park and park activities in the future.

Fireworks Display Saturday 5th November 2022

By

Peterlee Town Council apologises for the poor fireworks display at The Pavilion on Helford Road on Saturday 5th November 2022.

The council had placed a contract with Nemesis Pyrotechnics Ltd for a 18-20 minute fireworks display.  Clearly the display that they provided was far too short and we’re as annoyed and disappointed about it as the thousands of local residents who braved the wet and windy weather to watch the display.

A good deal of time and effort goes in to planning a safe and fun fireworks display every year.  An estimated 3,000-4,000 people came to this event and many enjoyed the free children’s entertainment in The Pavilion and the food provided by catering students from East Durham College.  We are gutted to have been let down so badly by the fireworks company who were trusted to run the key part of the event, and we are deeply sorry for the disappointment felt by so many.

WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY 2022

By

World Mental Health Day 2022 “Make mental health for all a global priority” World Mental Health Day is marked every year on October 10th to raise awareness about mental health around the world and to mobilize efforts to support those experiencing mental health issues.
Protecting our mental health is easier than you might think. We can all do it every day, and with simple activities that help us feel OK, we’re better able to cope with life.
According to the latest NHS figures, nearly half a million young people are being referred for mental health problems every month, with many not being able to get the support they need. That’s more young people than ever before seeking support – and most aren’t getting the help they need.
The Pavilion, Helford Road, Peterlee provides a varied programme of sport, wellbeing & physical activities to encourage people of all ages to become more active and look after their physical and mental health https://www.peterlee.gov.uk/?s=wellbeing
This day is a reminder to all of us that mental health should be a priority in our home and workplace globally.
