Agenda of the Youth Strategy Group Meeting on 3 September 2020
Keith Pounder joined the Parish Council in 2005. He passionately and assertively represented Quarrington Hill until his death on 22 May 2020 at University Hospital Durham. This was after two years of serious illness.
Keith was also a leading light at Quarrington Hill Community Centre. Here he led the asset transfer process of the building from Durham County Council to the Trustees and the fundraising campaign to refurbish the facility. Keith really became active in the community in about 2003 to 2004 with the community consultation on Parish Plan 1 and was a founder member of Quarrington Hill Community Partnership which went on to raise funds for a number of initiatives in the village. He played an active part in the Quarry Liaison Committees which affect our community and also East Durham Rural Corridor Area Action Partnership.
Keith served Quarrington Hill well on our Parish Council, always trying to make sure the village got its fair share of resources, although this was never an issue. He scrutinised the Parish Council finances meticulously and supported the Parish Council in growing into a more financially stable organisation for both of our villages.
Keith was also a member of the Durham Constabulary Choir and Secretary for St Helen’s Church Kelloe where again he supported in major fundraising activities. Keith was well known in the community and liked by a lot of people. Whilst he had a private family funeral during Covid-19, a Service of Remembrance will be arranged once the pandemic is over to remember and thank Keith.

Agenda of the Annual Meeting of Coxhoe Parish Council on 10 June 2020
The Coxhoe Household Waste Recycling Centre (HWRC) reopened at 2pm on Monday 18 May.
A number of significant safety measures have been introduced by DCC to ensure the safety of all staff and residents during the coronavirus outbreak, including a one-way entry from the Haul Road only, not the Quarrington Hill Road. Specific site information is as below:
Durham County Council (DCC) will introduce a number of significant changes to traffic routing including a one-way system to access the site. These have been devised by DCC Traffic Management Team and agreed with the Police. DCC will have a combination of Wardens, Premier Traffic Management (specialist in traffic management, direction and signage) and Civil Enforcement Officers (Specialists in car park and traffic management) on all sites in order to ensure traffic is managed safely, efficiently and in accordance with the law.
Government guidance has emphasised that residents should only take waste to HWRCs if it cannot be stored safely at home and no alternative disposal options are available. If you are queuing please have regard to residents entering and leaving the different phase of The Limes Estate.
The site is expected to be extremely busy, so please only visit if necessary and expect queues. Bulky waste goods collections began again on 18 May.
To minimise a danger to the public caused by queuing traffic and to increase road safety in association with Coxhoe HWRC re-opening, it has been necessary to temporarily prohibit traffic from the following:
The emergency Temporary Prohibition of Left and Right Turn and Lane Closure, which is being effected by means of Notice under Section 14(2) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 is necessary by reason of likelihood of danger to the public, and to increase road safety.
The alternative route for vehicular traffic wishing to access Coxhoe HWRC from the B6291 is in a general south westerly direction on B6291, then northerly at The Corner House pub junction on B6291 and easterly on unnamed road after 16 Commerical Road East to Coxhoe HWRC.
The maximum duration of the Prohibition of Left and Right Turn and Lane Closure under this Notice is 21 days.
