Welcome to Monk Hesleden Parish Council

Monk Hesleden Parish Council was established in December 1894 and it serves the villages of Blackhall Colliery, Blackhall Rocks, Crimdon, Hesleden, High Hesleden & Monk Hesleden and has 15 Councillors who are elected every four years.

Monk Hesleden Parish Council has been made aware of an unauthorised bonfire/fireworks display due to take place on the open field behind Attlee Avenue this evening. Following concerns raised by several residents the council has taken steps to prevent unauthorised access to the field but ultimately has no powers to stop the event going ahead. Emergency services and other partner agencies are aware.
