Bowburn & Parkhill Community Partnership

The Bowburn & Parkhill Community Partnership is a registered charity (Reg. Charity No. 1112151), whose objects are to promote the benefit and improve the condition of life of the inhabitants of Bowburn, Old Quarrington, Tursdale & Parkhill and surrounding area, by associating with residents, statutory and voluntary organisations, to provide facilities and improve the physical and social environment of the area. We aim to represent all sections of the community, without distinction of sexual orientation, race, age, disability or of political, religious or other opinion.

The Partnership was established in 2004 with the help of the City of Durham Council and was assigned the role by the Council and Durham Villages Regeneration Company (DVRC) of principal consultee in developing the Bowburn & Parkhill Masterplan for the regeneration of the village.  The Partnership continues to work with Durham County Council’s Community Development team to realise local aspirations and assist in supporting the aims of the Masterplan.

Meetings are held on the third Tuesday of every month, starting at 6.00pm, in Bowburn Community Centre. All local residents are welcome to attend our meetings and those supportive of our aims are invited to join. Attendance for at least two such meetings out of the preceding three entitles members to vote on any motion put before the meeting.
