Hi, I think the County Council should think about organising a weekly/monthly under 18's disco in Bishop Auckland, as there isn't much for us to do in our town on a night. I would appreciate it if you would take my idea seriously as I myself and many people my age feel the same way and would like something done about it. Thankyou

Web Administrator: Thanks for your comments. For details of events already running in your area check out our Community Information Database. The database includes a list of Youth Clubs and Associations, under the A-Z list. There are a number in the Wear Valley district running regular events for young people. However, I have passed your comments onto the relevant County Council departments for further consideration.


Your website is really good and helpful!

I would like to thank Durham county council for stopping gigs in durham in any venue they can find. If not for this wonderful action, the kids round here would have something to do, and local bands would have the opertunity to support some of the best underground UK bands around. Thankyou for making sure Durham remains dull, and all the kids have to do is drink cheap cider and take exctasy pills.

Web Administrator: Your comments do not make it clear exactly what aspect of this problem you are refering to. If it is to do with licenses, then I'm afraid that it is the District Councils' Environmental Health sections, and not the County Council, that deals with applications to license venues for entertainment such as singing and dancing. You also do not make it clear whether this relates specifically to Durham City or to the County as a whole, but below are the relevant contacts for the Districts: Chester-le-Street District Council - 0191 387 2202, City of Durham Council - 0191 301 8863 / 8791, Derwentside District Council - 01207 218 272, District of Easington - 0191 527 0501 (general number), Sedgefield Borough Council - [email protected], Teesdale District Council - [email protected], Wear Valley District Council - 01388 765555 (general number). Hope this helps.


i live in lanchester and in 15 i dont believe that i can learn with bad equipment and this streches to lanchester needing broadband for the school and the libary and also peoples homes we have to wait 10 20 time longer to get onto the website also the school has a special agree ment with BT and that is costing the school alot of money

Web Administrator: In Durham the County & District councils are implementing a project similar to the lincolnshire model which has resulted in the creation of a broadband consortium 'DurhamNet', stage one of a county wide broadband infrastructure is being built and will enable the provision of broadband to business,education and community facilities in the first instance (from April 2003). Trials of household connectivity will begin during the autumn of 2003 in a number of locations(not yet decided). At the moment the broadband consortium consists of Derwentside District & Durham County Council with other districts suc as Durham City as yet undecided on their level of participation. the projects Progress will be updated on the DurhamNet website www.durhamnet.org.uk (live from 1 May 2003). In addition to the above initiative Durham County Council is engaged with BT and Government Office NE in an effort to work up proposals that would see every BT exchange int he County enabled with ADSL capability.

I like the website, but County Durham isn't like it's shown on it. In my area all our council has given us is a new path and traffic island.
The kids don't like walking home on a night because there are a lot of drug dealers around and there's no-where safe for young people to go after school.
And every day we wait for the bus and it's full when we are coming home so we're somethimes left. CAN U DO SUMTHIN 4 US!

Web Administrator: Investing in Children works to listen to the views of children and young people across the County and work with them to improve their quality of life. Your comment has been passed to the IIC who will be happy to get in touch with you to see what can be done. If you would like us to forward your contact details to them we will do so. Alternatively the team can be contacted at the following; Investing in Children Office, Whitfield House, Front Street, Pity Me, Durham DH1 5EA. Tel: 0191 386 7485, fax: 0191 386 7492 or e-mail: [email protected]. With regard to your comments about the bus route. In order to take the matter further with the operator we would need to know where you are travelling to/from, at what times and specific examples of where there has been a problem. This will enable the bus operator to properly identify where the problem lies and what actions are necessary.


I think this is a good website. For children.

Now, So much I don't like the County Council, and I probablys never will, But I have one Issue, Transport!!!!!, Sound Familiar, I bet it does, Now Durham County Council must be forking out hundreds of thousands, maybes millions a year in securing Bus Routes, now I understand securing bus routes is important because some place are just unaccessable after 6 O'Clock at night, but for once, Could County take their fingers out of their behind, and make cheaper bus fares for young people, as it would help the next generation of chilren and young people, Come on Durham, do something, follow the lead of Tyne and Wear or something, and it might get young people of our streets on a night and actually doing something, and then I might have some respect for the County Council.

Web Administrator: Thanks for your comments about travel cards. Young people aged between 14 and 16 can get a concession with an Investing in Children travel card. Our Public Transport section says: When comparing with Tyne and Wear, they are putting their support into school time travel rather than "free" travel scheme, whereas DCC's policies implemented through Education provide free travel to school where over 2 miles (in most circumstances) and the IIC card is directed at "out of school hours" travel. The Council is also looking to develop an "Under 14" card to address problems some young people have getting the half fare they are entitled to (due to looking over 14 etc). You can also contact Public Transport directly.


I think your website is okay, I have never vivitede Britain before but I'm planning to visit Durham next summer with my wife.

It was a good idea to make your own site on the WEB. I'd like somebody from Durham to write something to me just to talk. Thank you!

Hello, My year went on a trip to Houghall farm and now we all have to do a project on it. I was absent on the day of the trip and have no information since Houghall farms website has been taken from the world wide web. I think it would be good to have a homework section on this website since i havn't a clue about Houghall Farm. By the way i LOVE Durham it's very beautiful. Lauren xxxxx

Lauren, [email protected], 16/03/2002 14:09:34


i feel that this web site is very informative, but feel it lacks the inclusion of homosexuals. i my self am gay and would be more than willing t5o have my photo taken to put on the web site to promote the fact that its OK to be gay.
love and kisses rick

richard woodward, [email protected], uk, 14/01/2002 13:46:04

Web Administrator: Thanks for your comments, Rick - we have information about gay and lesbian organisations under Sexuality in our Community Information Database.
