Haswell Neighbourhood Plan – We need your help to plan the future of our parish!
We need your help to plan the future of our parish!
We are seeking your views on what issues should be covered in the Neighbourhood Plan. Neighbourhood plans enable people living and working in an area to guide where and how future development happens.
Plans are prepared by the local community through their parish council, rather than by Durham County Council. The parish council will
manage the job of writing the plan, but everything that is included will be based on what you tell us is important to you.
We want to know:
• What do you think is good about living or working in Haswell Parish?
• What do you think is bad about living or working in Haswell Parish?
• What kind of development do you think is needed in Haswell Parish?
• What do you think needs to be protected / enhanced in Haswell Parish?
• Any other comments you would like to make about important issues and opportunities in the
parish.
You can give your comments in the following ways:
- Complete the short online survey available https://forms.gle/xsynZD7qerBXsdCJ7
- Send an email to haswellparishcouncil@gmail.com.
- Write a letter and post it to us at Haswell Parish Council, Giant Steps Nursery, Church Street,
Haswell, DH6 2DZ.
We need your comments by 15 March 2023
There will be further opportunities to input to the preparation of our neighbourhood plan over the
coming months.

2018 Durham Miners Gala
Haswell Parish Council are delighted to announce plans for this year’s Haswell Banner Parade and the visit to the 2018 Durham Miners’ Gala.
Building on the success of last year’s inaugural parade, once again there will be a parade through Haswell & Haswell Plough and a FREE BUS for residents of The Haswells to be part of the Haswell Parade at the 2018 Durham Miners’ Gala. If you don’t live in Haswell or Haswell Plough but would like to be part of the Haswell Parade with your family/friends in the village, it is £3.00 per seat.
This year will also see our parade led by the brilliant NORTHERN MONKEY BRASS BAND throughout The Haswells and at the Gala. Why not have a look at some of their highlights HERE
We are also looking for 6 people (2 Pole Carriers & 4 Rope Carriers) to lead the parade with the Haswell Banner.
