Environmental work is planned for the Dean Bank area of Ferryhill.

Improvements are to be made to a bus shelter used by elderly residents in the Durham Aged Miners houses at Joseph Patterson Crescent and William Kerr Crescent.

Town councillors have agreed to put a Perspex front on the shelter, with a door, and a window on the side so people can see up Merrington Road.

The council is also responding to a request from Dean Bank Residents' Association for more litter bins, and is working on creating flower beds around the Aged Miners bungalows, but has promised full consultation before any work is carried out.
