Our Village Is Changing — Residents Say ENOUGH!

Welcome to our coverage of a small former mining village in County Durham, where local residents are raising concerns about the increasing use of houses as HMOs (Houses in Multiple Occupation). For generations, these communities have been built around strong neighbourhoods, local families and a proud mining heritage. Now, many residents feel that the character of their village is changing and are asking questions about planning decisions, housing, HMOs and the impact of large-scale accommodation on small communities. This channel gives local people a voice and documents what is happening on the ground — from the streets and neighbourhoods affected to the views of residents who simply want their village protected for future generations. We believe local communities deserve to be heard, and we encourage respectful debate based on facts, evidence and people's real experiences.
