Shaping the Future of Affordable Housing in Rural County Durham Event

We held an introduction to Rural Housing Enabling event on Tuesday 4th March 2025 at Mickleton Village Hall, County Durham.

With a significant shortage of affordable homes in rural areas, the event aimed to bring together Parish Councillors, landowners, housing associations, and local residents to explore solutions and influence future developments.
