It's A Knockout
Trimdon Grange Community Centre and Trimdon Village Hall have teamed up to hold an 'It's A Knockout' event at Trimdon Junior School on June 15th. It consists of teams from local groups, charities, sports clubs etc. all raising funds and awareness for a chosen charity or group. If you would like a team you need 10 people, each raising sponsorship of £30 per person, any extra funds raised will go to whoever you wish. Check out www.itsaknockout.com for the games they play!! If you would like to sponsor a team, the monies will be spread across all the teams equally. Currently we have Trimdon United, Trimdon Village Hall, Trimdon Grange Youth Club, Trimdon Grange Taekwondo, Cream Hair Salon and possibly Macmillan Nurses from the area. Lets just hope for nice weather!

Housing Developments Concerns
On Thursday 9th May 2013 a Public Consultation was held at Trimdon Community Centre by Esh Property Services and Cundall Consultancy regarding a proposed Housing Development of Affordable Homes in Trimdon Station (Deaf Hill). A significant amount of residents expressed their concerns and objections at the Public Consultation, and have grouped together to form SAVE OUR FIELDS campaign group.

The group have been working hard contacting various organisations such as the council, schools, doctors, social housing and housing associations. They have also spent significant time studying the statistical data for the area and reviewing the local authority planning option website, and also sought further information from the developers regarding the true scale of the green field site development. A website has been established to provide additional information to the residents of the village, local businesses, and to the duly elected Parish and County Council Councillors; by doing so the group hope that a more informed decision can be made regarding the proposed development.
