| Slim hope – but hope | | 1:54pm today | |
THOSE Durham City, Derwentside
and Chester-le-Street
communities facing the loss of
their local post office under the
proposals announced by the
Post Office this week might be
excused for accepting the proposal
as decision taken. |
| Polyclinics solution? | | 1:01pm Friday 27th June 2008 | |
THE idea of polyclinics -
large health surgeries offering
a wide range of
services and open at
weekends and on weekday
evenings - has much to commend
it, particularly for those in work
with busy lives. |
| Persistence pays | | 1:01pm Friday 27th June 2008 | |
THE council said they were
wrong, the courts said they were
wrong - but Durham residents
Anne Evans, Desmond Evans and
Kirsty Thomas have shown that
determination and the belief that
you are right can pay off. |

| Waste collection – it’s a mess | | 1:21pm Friday 6th June 2008 | |
RUBBISH collection in
this country is becoming
a mess. Almost
every local authority
has different ways of gathering
it and, worryingly, more and
more are switching to fortnightly
collections. | | Reader comment (1) |
| Consultation: how to do it, how not to | | 12:18pm Friday 30th May 2008 | | CONSULTATION is
something of a
damaged concept
of late, thanks to
too many instances
of those who consult
ignoring the findings of the
exercise. |
| Your city's success | | 12:19pm Friday 30th May 2008 | |
READERS may well imagine that
we were pleased to be named the
North-East's Weekly Newspaper
of the Year in the region's press
awards at Newcastle last weekend. |
| Power to the people – if the plan works | | 11:14am Friday 23rd May 2008 | |
THE power of parish
councils has been debated
long and hard

parishes being given greater responsibility
is a good idea - as a
means of involving more people
in the decisions that affect
their local communities. |
