Our Good Neighbour, Good Landlord and Good Letting Agents Agreement was officially launched on Valentine's day by Durham County Council's cabinet member for housing, Councillor Clive Robson.
As part of our plan to sustain and develop Horden's numbered streets, we have worked alongside local housing providers Castledene and Acorn to draw up an agreement of 25 standards backed by 11 local organisations, including Horden Residents' Association, which will improve life for residents.
The standards put a responsibility on residents to, for example, consider neighbours, report anti-social behaviour, make sure children are good neighbours, maintain homes, keep yards clean and manage pets.
