Welcome to the website for the City of Durham Parish Council.
The Council became a recognised legal entity in its own right on 1st April 2018 and the first elections to the Parish Council took place on Thursday 3rd May 2018.
We are made up of 15 Parish Councillors representing three wards:
Elvet and Gilesgate
Durham South
Nevilles Cross
Pinpoint
We have developed a tool for you to report and describe your experience with anti-social behaviour in and around our City. You can use our PinPoint tool to raise concerns about noise disturbances, fly-tipping and other acts of anti-social behaviour. Concerns raised here are not an official report to a statutory body such as the police and should not replace the need to call emergency services, it is merely a way for us to collect data of these issues and use it make more informed decisions as to where we try to place valuable resources in our area.
