Bringing services together in Stanley

Screen Shot 2016-04-21 at 15.21.25Residents in Stanley will enjoy easier access to a range of council services in the town from next month (May).

The library, council customer access point and registrars’ office will all be moving into one convenient location in the newly-refurbished Louisa Centre.

The services will be all on one level within the modern and bright building, making it easier for people to use them.

The move is part of a larger refurbishment project at the Louisa Centre to improve leisure facilities at the venue and reduce running costs.

The existing customer access point and registrar’s office, on Front Street, Stanley, will close on Friday 29 April.

The library on High Street, Stanley, will close on Saturday 23 April.

Services will reopen in the Louisa Centre on Tuesday 3 May.

During the time that the library will be closed residents will be able to use other libraries, with the nearest being in South Moor and Annfield Plain.

Alan Patrickson, head of project and business services at Durham County Council, said: “We are pleased that our project to provide better access to services to people living in the Stanley area has now been completed and we are looking forward to our staff welcoming customers to enjoy the new facilities.

“The wider refurbishment of the Louisa Centre will also deliver improved leisure facilities in the town.”
