Community Assembly of County Durham
Serving, supporting and protecting our local communities
About Us
The Community Assembly of County Durham is located in the North East of England and is the largest settlement is Darlington, while the county town is the city of Durham. The west of the county contains part of the North Pennines uplands. The hills are the source of the rivers Tees and Wear, which flow west and form the valleys of Teesdale and Weardale respectively. The east of County Durham is flatter, and characterised by rolling hills through which the two rivers meander and the tees form the boundary with North Yorkshire.
What is now County Durham was on the border of Roman Britain, and contains survivals of this era at sites such as Binchester Roman Fort. In the Anglo-Saxon period the region was part of the Kingdom of Northumbria. In 995 the city of Durham was founded by monks seeking a place safe from Viking raids to house the relics of St Cuthbert.
Community Assemblies are made up of residents concerned about a lack of democratic process at a local and national level, dedicated to preserving and asserting our inalienable rights and obligations to ourselves, the Earth and future generations.
