Welcome to the website for the City of Durham Parish Council.

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.
