YOUR VILLAGE, YOUR VOICE
The Parish Council is looking at setting up a Residents’ Association for Blackhall Colliery. The Parish Council will work with partner organisations in helping to establish the Association but once up and running it would be made up from and operated by residents of Blackhall Colliery.
Due to current COVID-19 social distancing restrictions we would not be able to have a meeting at the moment so in the meantime we would like to hear from residents who would be interested in becoming involved.
To express an interest please contact the Parish Council:
