The crime and the fear of crime can have an impact on people’s health and welfare as well as financial implications. The funding will be used to install equipment to increase the security of homes of vulnerable victims. This could include key safes, door bars, window locks, dusk till dawn lights. Crime and Community Safety, Healthy Lifestyle & Wellbeing Credit Union Durham County Credit Union Local Environment and Community Civic Pride Oakenshaw renewable energy Oakenshaw Community Association Work in Crook and Willington is progressing well with 62 new members at the end of Februaryr. An additional bonus to having a collection point in Crook is that we have attracted a further 2 dozen members from the Wear dale Area, though they recognise that they reside outside the Three Towns Area. The union are also in the process of negotiating a collection point in Tow Law with the Town Council and Jenny Mountain. The aim of the project is to undertake a feasibility study into the possibility of renewable energy being produced for Oakenshaw and the surrounding area in a way that will provide an income for Oakenshaw Community Association for a period of around 20 years. The feasibility study would determine the most likely site for the turbines. The intention is that Oakenshaw could become a self sustaining community with the funding from renewable energy and that funding would be applied to the charitable objectives of the Community Association. This will include seeking to improve housing in the area to reduce energy needs. The Community Association is also exploring whether there are other communities that may be interested in joining them in the enterprise such as Willington, Stanley Crook and Brancepeth. Links have been made but no decisions made at this time. 7 AAP Funding External NB Total £5,000.00 £2,000.00 £0.00 £7,000.00 £10,400.00 £4,800.00 £0.00 £15,200.00 £7,500.00 £5,480.00 £7,000.00 £19,800.00 Three Towns Partnership 2010/11 AGM Finance Report Crime & Community Safety, Activities for Children & Young People Howden le Wear Youth Shelter Leisure Services The aim of the project is to obtain a youth shelter for the Young People from Howden-le-Wear and the surrounding areas.
