Holiday Park
The Public Inquiry into the proposed holiday park has rejected the appeal - so that the proposed development will not be allowed and the original decision by the Borough Council has been upheld.
The full text of the Inspectors Report is available here.
It is possible that some variation of the plan may be resubmitted and all those who oppose this development should be aware that the fight to maintain the environment may not yet be over.

Sedgefield Together
Local government changes mean that Sedgefield Borough Council will not exist after March 2009 and will be a large divide between the local services provided at town / parish level and those provided by the unitary council. Proposals for the future include 'area action partnerships' and the town council are looking to coordinate our own 'partnership'. A more detailed letter and a response form are available here. All those with an interest in this partnership are invited to respond.
