Operation Stop It is Durham County Council’s biggest ever crackdown on fly-tipping. “We live in a beautiful county. Sadly, there are a minority of people who don’t seem to care and who want to spoil it for everyone.” Caught on camera shows people fly-tipping and what to do with your waste. It is the first time these powers have been used against waste carriers in County Durham and you can call 03000 261 000 to report environmental crimes. Unlicensed waste carriers can be reported anonymously to Crimestoppers at www.crimestoppers-uk.org or call 0800 555 111.

A big thank you to the volunteers who joined Councillors David Boyes and Angela Surtees on Tuesday. Six bags of rubbish were collected and trees thinned out at Easington Local Nature Reserve. It was a job well done. An amphibian survey was also carried out, when lots of tadpoles, insects and a giant leech were found.

Hawthorn Parish Council is very concerned to learn that the Stapylton Arms is being put up for sale. The council is looking to register the building as a community asset, together with the community centre and the church. Successful registration of such buildings / land allows the community up to six months to look at buying the asset or looking at how it can be retained for community use.
