COXHOE VILLAGE HALL
Both villages are traditionally proud of their warm and friendly community spirit.
The Parish lies in the City of Durham Parliamentary Division and is served by
Durham County Council and Durham City Council
Coxhoe village is about 1 mile from the Bowburn intersection of the A1M and about 4 miles to the south of Durham City. It has a primary school, medical centre, dentists, leisure park and village hall. It has a good variety of shops and local businesses cater well for the diverse consumer demands. In the 1970's when the City of Durham council last did a village plan for Coxhoe it was deemed to be a village in decline. In recent years however, there has been considerable housing development and the explosion in population has presented service providers with the new challenges.
QUARRINGTON HILL COMMUNITY CENTRE
Quarrington Hill lies 1.5 miles to the east of Coxhoe on a well used link road to Peterlee and Hartlepool with Bishop Auckland and the west of the county. It shares a primary school with neighbouring Cassop, has no doctors surgery or dentists but has a community centre which is presently thriving. Play and leisure facilities are deemed inadequate and the village is served by 1 shop with a post office open on mornings only. Quarrington Hill has remained constant in size but could be poised for additional housing as the demand to live near to Durham City grows and developments move away from the city centre.
Coxhoe Parish Council is made up of residents of Coxhoe and Quarrington Hill, they carry out all work on a voluntary basis.
The council employ a clerk working 10 hours per week dealing with correspondence and communications as well as the budget for the council. The council also employs people on a sub-contract basis for specific tasks i.e. grass cutting, supply and maintenance of the hanging baskets maintenance of the village clocks.
The council has an annual budget which it receives from the council tax and this is used to pay for things in the villages regarded by the councillors as important to the community.
Examples are Street lighting, the bypass from the school to the unction of the A177 / B6291 (Black Horse junction) and also the link to Kelloe jointly financed with Kelloe Parish.
It also fitted the village clocks on Coxhoe Village Hall and Quarrington Hill Club and the Hanging baskets in Coxhoe front street.
We hope you enjoy your visit and add it to your favourites to revisit on many occasions
