LOOKING AHEAD

Published: 17 Dec 25

Looking Ahead to 2026 Durrington Town Council wishes all residents a happy and healthy New Year. 2025 was a productive year, with improvements made across village facilities, including upgrades to the Village Hall and Pavilion, new benches on the Recreation Ground, operational speed indicator devices, and enhanced safety measures. A temporary pump track installed over the summer proved extremely popular, leading the Council to plan a permanent replacement for the ageing skate park. Plans for 2026 Key projects planned for the year ahead include: Installation of a permanent pump track Refurbishment of Pavilion toilets Full redecoration of the Village Hall New sound system for the Hall Improved lighting along the Recreation Ground path New flooring for the Robinson Room River Park path refurbishment The new pump track is expected to cost around £150,000 and will be funded through a mix of Council reserves, grants, and a £100,000 Public Works Loan, repayable over eight years. The Council does not propose to increase the precept to fund this project. Approval to proceed with the loan will be considered at the Council meeting on Tuesday 6 January at 7.00 pm in the Robinson Room, Durrington Village Hall. The meeting is open to the public. The Annual Parish Meeting will be held on 31 March in the Village Hall. Residents are warmly encouraged to attend. Read More...

The Make A Change campaign by the National Association of Local Councils (NALC) calls on people from all backgrounds and experiences who are passionate about their local area to put themselves forward. Durrington Town Council is urging enthusiastic and engaged members of the community who want to make a long-lasting change, have innovative ideas or have concerns about a specific issue to stand as councillors for the opportunity to make a real difference. The work Durrington Town Council does is exciting and rewarding.
