Comment: Hi, just a quick message about what a GREAT facility you all have in Trimdon in the "Trimdon Station Community Centre", (THE WELFARE). I was given a look round by my sister Eileen and also Jim on Sunday, what a massive amount of work and effort has been put into this project and I must say you Trimdon people should be proud of having this great place on your doorsteps. If any Trimdon people have not seen the improvements made I reccomend you go and have a look for yourselves, am sure you will be impressed with it.
Well done to all concerned!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comment: Hi,
Many thanks for taking the time to let us know that you enjoyed the firework display. We do our best to make sure that posters etc are out in good time for everyone to see and come along and also try to advertise with local media, but as they say "will try harder"!
Next year's event has already been agreed and will take place on Sunday 1st November, Recreation Area, rear of Nattress Terrace, perhaps at the earlier time of 6pm rather than 6.30.

Comment: I would like to say that I fully appreciate the firework display that the Parish Council organised this year. I really enjoyed it….even though I had to watch it from the window, as we weren’t aware it was being held.
I know now that there had been notices put up in the Parish Council notices boards, however is this really enough? What about the local shops, schools etc. I know my family weren’t the only ones to miss out. I look forward to being there next year and hope to see it advertised more clearly, I’m sure lots more people will attend.

Comment: Just to answer Linda Wilkinson about the land at the rear of 20 Commercial St.. the land was purchased as a building plot and it was cleared of all the rubbish and buildings that very same week. Waiting for planning permission and other red tape takes time as you just cannot build without everything being passed, so we must apologise for any inconvenience, but actually I think that the land is much tidier than it was before. If you wish to contact myself or my husband, please feel free to contact us on 01429 881809. Thank you.

Comment: I would just like to reply to a Ms. Jodie Ridd or Tara Collins as she uses two names, who rented a property from my husband and myself and in the guest book (30th Jan 2008) she is stating that it was not habitable. I can assure you that the house was in excellent condition and the only repairs that had to be rectified were done deliberately by herself in order to get a cheaper council property. Thank you

Comment: On the subject of the Parish Council, I'd just like to point one more example of the good work that's being carried out, the fireworks display last year at the recreation ground was great, free and well attended.I believe the event is to happen again this year. This type of event takes a lot of preparation and a lot of money, so well done to the Clerk and Members for giving something back to the people. I think the Parish Council does a fair amount for the village, given that their budget can't be huge, there's only so much that can be done. Improvements take a long time to come to fruition and there is often a great deal of work going on in the background before people actually see results. Trimdon has it's problems, much the same as any other village in our area and yes, it would be really nice to see the area as well kept as the likes of Sedgefield, however, the appearance of areas is largely down to residents taking pride in their area and helping the likes of the Parish Councils keeping places looking nice. It would be so easy, and improvements would soon be seen, if everyone in Trimdon did their bit by taking pride in their own little area, even if it did mean picking up a leftover beer can in the street! Or better still, not dropping it in the first place. Well done to the Parish Council and thanks for the very beautiful children's park!

Comment: There is a Margaret Annie Calvert in the www.durhamrecordsonline.com born 1899.
This is the best site for Durham born folks to find out about there relations. There is no charge for a search but, if you want to look at the results there is a small charge.....well worth it!!

Comment: I am trying to find the history of my family and I now believe that my father was born in Trimdon in 1907, his name was Alfred Kitching. I also believe that my mother, Margaret Annie Calvert, was born there too. Is there anybody out there who can confirm this for me. Thanks. Dennis Kitching

Comment: At last !! I think a lot of people will be happy and relieved that finally something has been done to clear up and continually keep on top of the upkeep in the cemetery, and the village . And I also think that the negativity in the guestbook regarding this matter comes from years of Deaf Hill and Trimdon Station being in the gutter and you can't blame people really for feeling negative about the state of the place over the years .Maybe Easington and the Parish Councils will get a bit of support from Trimdon people now that something is going to be done ..And maybe time for some of the younger generation to join Easington and the parish councils ... After all there should be no reason why Deaf Hill and Trimdon Station can't be on the same par as such as Sedgefield and Trimdon Village for a nice well kept village ...

Comment: I was very disappointed reading the guestbook this morning about how negative everyone is being.
The cemetery has had its first "session" of intense maintenance last week and I visited with the Chairman Jim Grigg, to see how the work was going - a definite improvement. This will continue with one day per week being devoted to work in the cemetery and I hope that parishioners will be pleased with change in the overall appearance of the cemetery.
The Parish Council does it's best to try to maintain and address all areas within it's control to everyone's satisfaction. Maybe this is a high goal to strive for but we do try.
Anyone wishing to complain may do so in writing to me as the Clerk at 2 Delamere Gardens, Easington SR8 3PA. The complaint will then be brought to the attention of Members at our monthly meeting and considered fully and a fully reply made thereafter. Also our monthly meetings, the next one is tomorrow (Wednesday 10th September at 6.30pm) are open to the public and the Chairman gives ample opportunity for members of the public to "have their say". You are welcome to come along.

Comment: Message for George. Let people express what they want and read messages correctly. And as for letting the whole of Trimdon see, the whole of Trimdon could see when you were campaigning to save the church, did you actually bother to attend regular services hence supporting the up keep of the church? One believes that answer is NO!!!!

Comment: George I think you have my sister all wrong she is on about there is always money for the upkeep of the bowling green and its always been like that in Deaf Hill as long as I can remember. so she isn’t having a go at the cemetery she is on about always being money for the bowling green but not for the upkeep of the cemetery . and for your interest George most of our family are buried in the cemetery - just thought you’d like to know that !!!

Comment: Referring to George Martin ! If you read my message properly I was in fact saying that the state of the cemetery is upsetting . Further down the message book various people have commented on this and this website is free for people and people that lived in Trimdon to voice their opinions , I thought I'd take part .. (even if my opinion will be 'all over Trimdon Station') And if you looked further down the guestbook I have left my email address previously .. I was actually , if you took time to read properly, agreeing with other people who find the state of the cemetery that it is very upsetting , but Easington or parish councils maybe should give this matter first priority before the bowling green , a notice board and street furniture . And as for who will remember me when I'm gone !! I really don't think that has anything to do with community funds being used to shine up the outside of the village - it’s such as the cemetery , that need preference ... is all I was saying .... You obviously use the bowling green .. thanks for your view x

Comment: Referring to Julie Fox
Your comments will be all over Trimdon Station, you say lets give the bowling green preference to our cemetery, who will remember you when you are gone, not the relatives that have families in our cemetery, nor anyone else in our village that are concerned about their families that are put to rest in the cemetery. Why do you not include your email address??

Comment: Hi Bill, I don't know you . but I lived in Trimdon all my life , up until about 13 yrs ago. I can believe the cemetery is in a state as EASINGTON COUNCIL and 'all who sail in her' have deep deep pockets. There are the funds there to cover the upkeep of the cemetery and such like .. But don't worry the funds are going to 'street furniture' which will no doubt be vandalised of a Friday night , a notice board ???? and planters .. which will be uprooted and replanted in peoples gardens. I feel sad for the state of the cemetery, but as long as the bowling green is sound... why should anyone bother with the state of a graveyard ??..... and other parts of the village. Yes they will mention a hang around area ?, and basketball hoop ? .... but recreational areas should be accounted for separately, being as all the new-build houses have by law to donate towards play areas and such like for the kid. What is this ?? . , Dead , Buried and Forgotten , as with the cemetery... why do people expect any different from Easington Council .. money grabbers .. Don't leave the grass to grow over council tax bills do they ??

Comment: Nothing has been done, the cemetery is still sadly a disgrace. I was a bit upset about this subject when leaving my last message in the guestbook ( as you may have noticed ) However after taking stock, I intend to find out if there is a process to complain about poor service/Management from a council. I have been to photograph the sad state of affairs, last Sunday morning
I think the people I need to contact are ombudsmen? - not too sure. I will have to look into this.
I would appreciate being informed of the official complaints procedure. please find my e mail address attached

Yes, Marion I am Pearls brother, I am afraid she lost a long brave battle against cancer. She lived in the USA, I shared as much time as i could with her during her last year. As you can imagine it was a tough time.
Pearls last wish was to be flown from California and be laid to rest next to her Mam & Dad in Deaf Hill Cemetery.
Many moons ago I can remember going to your house with our Pearl, I remember I sat at a table next to a fire at a back window overlooking a back garden it was one night after school & that’s about it.!!!!
I really do remember your name very well. ...
