ImageST CUTHBERT OF DURHAM A PERSPECTIVE OF 900 YEARS
By Michael Sadgrove Dean of Durham Given at St Cuthbert's Darlington, 19 March 2004

St Cuthbert's Day, when I was installed as Dean of Durham. To me, that service was memorable for many reasons, not least for the shadow cast by the outbreak of the war in Iraq that same day. But my most powerful memory of the liturgy itself was of kneeling with the Bishop and Chapter at the shrine of St Cuthbert while the elegiac music of the Northumbrian pipes wafted across the Cathedral. I knew then that I was back in the north-east, in Cuthbertsland. And I dared to hope and pray, knowing that with Cuthbert you can never take anything for granted, that the north-east's great saint would be with me in the years that lay ahead.

ImageNeighbourhood Watch is not just putting a sticker in your window, it is much more than that, it is about being a community!

What is Neighbourhood Watch?
Neighbourhood Watch is a method of developing close liaison between neighbours, the local police and the local authority. The aim is to help people protect themselves and their properties, to reduce the fear of crime and to improve the local environment.

Why is Neighbourhood Watch necessary?
It is important that the police and the community work in co-operation to prevent and detect crime.

Dog Fouling
Written by Mark Burton   
Friday, 12 October 2007

ImageIt's estimated that the Darlington dog population numbers around 14,000 and that's an awful lot of pooches, all producing an astonishing 1.8 tonnes of pooch poo per day!

Although dog owners know 'all too well' the problems associated with dog fouling it is estimated that only 23% of them actually clean up after their dogs when not being watched by other people. 

Statistics suggest that
28% Never clean up after their dogs
72% Clean up after their dog/s whilst in the vicinity of other people
77% Turn a blind eye when their not being watched by others

ImageSelf taught... MySQL and the dreaded database imports and exports…

I think I deserve a pat on the back right now as I’ve done what I thought I would never be able to do and that’s export a raw table from a database and import it into a new table AND link it to the new site without messing the whole thing up… which is what I thought I would do!

We’re now back to our original 156 members; so if you’ve just reregistered hopefully you’ll remember your original username and password… if not please let me know and I’ll edit it for you to login and alter to something you would like to keep.

Switch onIt’s taken some time, a whole lot of programming and re-programming but we’re back and we’re secure!

Over the next few months we’ll be slowly pulling the site back together to it’s former glory… minus the odd poorly written third party scripts which may have provided vulnerabilities’ for the ‘hackers’ to gain access to the site.

Please call back as and when you can… because nothing stands still in Harrowgate Hill!

Harrowgate Farm Play Area
I’ve received complaints about the condition of the play area. The fence surrounding the play area is down, there’s broken glass and litter and the bins are overflowing. I’ve rang Street Scene today and on Thursday morning the area is to be litter picked and the bins are to be emptied too. The fence is the responsibility of Wimpy and I’ll include some information for you in the next edition of the Little Red Rosette about that.

Beaumont Hill

All three planning application have been granted. Building works are set to commence this March.

Public Inquiry - Shepherd
The Planning Inspectorate has agreed to a postponement of the above Inquiry at the request of the site owners until the 27th April as a result of the former owner's death. [Mr Blair]

Bensham Park

Work is now set to commence there during the first week of March. £30k is to be invested on the play area providing more inclusive play and new equipment.

Dog Dirt
I've received a number of complaints with regards to walkers not clearing up after their dogs. Yesterday Street Scene swept the pavements of Harrowgate Farm and next week the whole area is to be blitzed by the dog wardens. I'd like to see owners clearing up after their dogs rather than see fines being given out - please clear up after your dogs!

Local Burglary

A burglary took place last Friday afternoon in a house near to The Leas Bakery.  Access was obtained by breaking a rear double glazed window.  Please be aware and to take extra care - It appears the snow and ice does not deter burglars.

Green Lane (also known as Bridleway 21)
Will be closed from Wednesday 25th January 2010 for approximately 2 months, to allow drainage to be improved and for surface maintenance.
