Neighbourhood Wardens

Durham County Council has six Neighbourhood Wardens to work within the former City of Durham district. Cassop-cum-Quarrington Parish is in the zone covered by Paul Parker.

Their aim is to improve the area, making it a cleaner and safer place to live, as well as acting as a direct link between the general public and all of the council’s services.

The Wardens tackle issues such as dog fouling, litter, fly tipping, abandoned vehicles, graffiti & vandalism and anti-social behaviour. They are able to issue £50 fixed penalty notices for the offences of litter and dog fouling.

One of their tasks is to try to increase awareness of the waste collection service, whereby the majority of household goods are taken away for free. If you have any waste to be collected then with one phone call to the environmental hotline, 0191 301-8669. The Council will arrange to have it collected for you.

Durham City Council also provides free poop scoop bags, which are available from any sports centre or council office, as well as Bowburn Community Centre.

If you have a problem in your area then don’t hesitate to get in touch, either by phone or e-mail.
