Jubilee Fields Estate, Shildon

We have been working together with the community to improve the quality of life on the estate. We are committed to this long-term and will listen to and act with those residents who wish to get involved.

The Courts, Shildon

Working with the tenants and residents, along with our contract partners Mears we are transforming the overall appearance of the Courts on the Jubilee Fields Estate in Shildon.

Maple Avenue and Firtree

Our partner contractor, Oaktree Living, delivered a regeneration programme that is now complete. The programme has seen several flats demolished and 15 new two-bedroom accessible, energy-efficient, and affordable bungalows built.

What are we doing to help sustain and develop the estate?

We have:

- Started on site to regenerate homes in the Courts and retrofit with energy efficient measures.

- Replaced several flats at Maple and Firtree with accessible, energy efficient bungalows.

- Improved open space and biodiversity in partnership with the Friends of Jubilee Fields, Durham Wildlife Trust and the Brightwater partnership which includes Groundwork and Durham County Council.

- Supported the community centre to be more sustainable - LED lighting funded through Mears, redecoration through PPG Industries and secured funding from the Northern Powergrid to add solar panels and batteries to help reduce energy bills.

- Worked with our community partners to deliver activities in our communal lounges.

- Delivered employment, training and financial inclusion support.

- Enabled the delivery of school holiday programmes including family events and trips.
