Hot from the Press
The Park East Community Partnership are thrilled to have been awarded a substantial grant from Grass Roots (County Durham Foundation) to produce a regular community newsletter for the next 2 years. We would love to use this as an opportunity to get people involved, and as a means to share information and news across the whole ward. It is hoped that community groups, local businesses ,churches,services, agencies and local organisations will want to be involved.
Anyone wishing to be part of the Editorial team should contact Joanne Scott on 01325 388457 in the first instance.
