Wolsingham is a beautiful small town in the Wear Valley, 15 miles from Durham. It is surrounded by upland agriculture, with moorland and forestry, which makes it a delightful place to live, or to visit and explore.
The Parish Council maintains the local services and encourages sustainable development in a healthy environment.
Our priorities are;
-
Making Wolsingham a better place to live and work.
-
Maintaining the character of Wolsingham as an attractive market town with good facilities.
-
Supporting local business and employment by developing good provision for visitors and employees.
-
Encouraging visitors, which brings economic and social benefit to everyone in the community.
-
Improving the environment by attention to the local ecology, in balance with commercial interests.
-
Improving safety by managing risks, including traffic, footpaths, green spaces and the buildings for which we have responsibility.
-
Responding to changing local needs and developments in a way which reflects long term effects as well as short term issues.
-
Reducing the environmental impact of population growth by efficient energy use, by encouraging sustainable development, and by reducing waste.
-
Raising the profile of the Parish Council and developing ownership by residents.
