There are a number of important items this week, not least the notice of DCC services over the holiday period. You will be interested in the Newton Aycliffe Masterplan update. Please complete the Bright Water River Skerne survey. Finally – as usual – there are some ideas for things to do. As most Council work shuts down during the holiday period, this will be the last County Newsbits column until the New Year.
