Closures in Consett

[@cheyennedogsoldiers]

I moved out of the town, and down to Lincolnshire in 2018, and soon appreciated just how many resources Consett actually has. Up until last year, my closest McDonald's, KFC or Subway where as 68 mile round trip. There's no Uber, you have to pay to park everywhere. The only supermarket is Morrisons and it's about the size of Iceland. Tesco or a normal size Morrisons are again 70 mile round trip. Yup, I do miss the old town.

Hopefully those closures are just temporary however it's still worrying to see. Its also worrying that some of the older municipal architecture in Consett, a lot of which is absolutely stunning, is also in quite a poor state of repair too. Another great little recording Billy, cheers for your content, and I agree - us folk from the area, we really are built of stronger stuff. Steel, Coal, Lead & maybe even crisps (those old enough to remember will know, those not will wonder what they missed!)

Councils are to blame

if the golden arches are gone that's a step in the right direction surely. A good fish and chip shop would be preferable.

Billy, BTW is that big estate pub down Delves Lane still open, existing or gone the way of so many other pubs. Cheers

If you mean the Black Diamond, I think it's closed.

@ 49secs.......The UK is slowly morphing into an Open Prison. Can you imagine the Council's reaction if you were to erect a dystopian camera on a pole like that on your property?

VOTE FOR THE REFORM PARTY FOR CHANGES AND HELP.
