The stern action follows a meeting of the Council’s Audit & Governance Committee in early February when Hospital Trust bosses failed to turn up to explain their reasons for the imminent closure at the end of March. The meeting had to be adjourned as councillors were unable to put questions to the Hospital Trust and such was the anger from those present that the Committee requested that the Councillor Stephen Akers-Belcher (right) Vice-Chair of the FULLY FITTED OR SUPPLY ONLY Secretary of State for Health Jeremy Hunt should intervene.

What makes Elwick such a wonderful place to live in? We have a Church, two pubs, a Post Office/shop and a Primary School. Important though they are the things that make Elwick unique are its people and the beautiful countryside around us. So many villagers have helped to research the history of our community, either as members of our work groups or by providing interesting snippets of information to us, and we are indebted to you all. However none of this would have been possible without the support of the Parish Council, Durham County Council’s Limestone Landscape Project, who provided the matched funding (Big Lottery) and, of course, the team of specialists so ably lead by Robin Daniels of Tees Archaeology, supported by Tony Devos (Limestone Landscapes Project). Matched. Funding for the Wildlife element of the project was kindly provided by Tees Valley Community Foundation, which enabled us to produce two leaflets identifying the wildlife to be seen around the village and along the public footpaths.

  • Project Management Services – Background Brief and Project Summary
    Project Management Services – Background Brief and Project Summary Introduction The National Museum of the Royal Navy (NMRN) owns HMS Trincomalee in Hartlepool, having acquired the Trincomalee Trust in 2014. The ship forms the centre piece of the National Museum of the Royal Navy, Hartlepool, which comprises the recreated shops and other attractions around the graving dock which houses HMS Trincomalee. NMRN leased this complex from Hartlepool Borough Council (HBC) in 2016 for a period of 35 years. Both NMRN and HBC aspire to regenerate the area of the NMRN site, the adjacent Jackson’s Landing site, and Trincomalee Wharf opposite. This paper considers the options that may be available to the partners and also develops a vision for the area. Realising that vision will be challenging, but if successful will deliver a new heart for Hartlepool centred on the Harbour basin and linking to other adjacent regeneration schemes. The sites The Sites comprise: • HMS Trincomalee and the surrounding recreated shops and attractions • Hartlepool Museum and the paddle steamer Wingfield Castle, owned by HBC, but operated by NMRN • A large area of associated car parking leased by NMRN from HBC • Jacksons Landing facing part of the eastern side of the Harbour basin owned by HBC • Trincomalee Wharf facing the western side of the Harbour basin. The land is owned by NMRN through the Trincomalee Trust, but a purchase agreement was concluded between the Trincomalee Trust and the developer Jomast in 2007. This agreement was conditional on development being undertaken on the site, and upon the commencement of that development the payment of a further £437,000 to the Trincomalee Trust.

  • Local Plan Submission Stage with Modifications Following Hearings
    Hartlepool Local Planning Framework Local Plan Submission Stage With Modifications following Hearings Novemebr 2017 Leader’s Foreword “As the Leader of Hartlepool Council I am proud to endorse this Publication Local Plan for the Borough. The Local Plan is incredibly important as it will set the planning framework for the next 15 years. It contains policies that will help Hartlepool achieve its Vision for future growth and prosperity with a wide range and choice of homes and jobs within a high quality environment. Hartlepool has so much to offer, with its fantastic marina, a great coastline and a beautiful rural environment on our doorstep. In recent years there have been major achievements through regeneration, improvements to local communities and investment in housing and new businesses. The rebuilding of the Hartlepool College of Further Education and major investment in Cleveland College of Art and Design, improvements to retail facilities and the transport interchange - all in the heart of the town centre - are positive signs of how the town is moving forward. There has also been significant investment in other areas such as Queens Meadow Business Park where we have the most successful Enterprise Zone in the Tees Valley and a new Fire Brigade administrative and training centre being built. Looking ahead, the town is well placed to benefit from future growth in offshore wind and renewable energy and other ‘green’ industries and this Local Plan will ensure that the planning framework supports this ambition through land allocations and infrastructure provision. I believe that the growth proposals within the Local Plan will benefit Hartlepool and its residents through attracting significant inward investment and the associated jobs and opportunities that will result from growing our economy.
