Destruction of healthy trees, 21st January
Hi, I have lived in this cemetery 12 years, the photos are two of three that recently had “work done”. I sort advice from someone with 30 years experience at our local horticulture college, he found no disease whatsoever on said trees so I reported to the council who handed it to the people who cut the trees to investigate, who obviously found no wrong doing. In a time where we are encouraged to think of our environment, look out for nature I was saddened to think I had to leave it there however it is council policy to replace fallen or felled trees they have replaced none of the 18. Every year the ground becomes more water logged, puddles have turned to pools that are still visible in spring they have recently had to deal with a huge sink hole only meters from the cemetery. I have suggested planting replacement trees or even if they short of money giving members of the public the opportunity in memory of loved ones. Please help. Blackhill cemetery Durham Road Consett.

Street Light Out, 1st October
Street light is out leaving segment of road outside of school gate to road beside The Fountain pitch black.
Issue has only arisen recently (1-2 days) but there has been issues with potential drug dealing along this back street and aggressive individuals which may make this problematic if not remedied. This coupled with earlier nights worsens the concerns while not remedied.

The street and surrounding area looks scruffy and unkept. There's a burnt out wheelie bin in a public green area. Public plants and grass looks overgrown. Neighbors aren't cutting their grass, front or back. Been like this for months and it's bringing property value down. Thank you.

Overgrown trees, 14th May
Some years ago the council installed a park bench at a point that had a panoramic view of the Derwent Valley from Aynsley Terrace in Consett. As you can see from the attached photos, the view has now gone. These trees are just giant weeds to me. Can they not be cut down?
