THE SCOPE OF CHESTER-LE-STREET’S REGENERATION IN THE RUN-UP TO 2025
W
hat will Chester-le-Street look like in seven years? Whatever the town’s appearance in 2025, you can expect it to reflect what residents wish for in the here and now. We say this as Durham County Council has unveiled a masterplan for how it will improve the town over the next few years – and we can anticipate lively and carefully laidout shopping and socialising facilities to heavily feature. The council has also, via a consultation, gathered local opinions on how the town should be developed.
He further enthused that the town centre “will have distinctive open spaces, excellent access and be a thriving and exciting place to visit and do business.” Still, he acknowledged the need to “ensure that residents share this vision and that what they want for their town is reflected in the masterplan.” So, what do residents want? We can get something of an idea from the publicly revealed plan, with councillors having likely already considered the probable concerns of residents.
A long-term strategy that is taking shape and showing promise
Major points of the regeneration scheme
By the time you read this, DCC might have closed its public consultation, which was set to expire on Friday 3rd August. However, we probably shouldn’t expect the core elements of the proposals to be watered down, or at least not to a large extent. Councillor Carl Marshall, the DCC Cabinet member for economic development, has hailed the masterplan as setting out “a vision for Chester-leStreet in 2025, with the town centre recognised as a vibrant and well-designed place to shop and socialise.”
Bringing neglected spaces into fresh use is a key theme of the masterplan. For example, while the town’s Civic Centre is now long gone, its former Newcastle Road location has been singled out for development – including repurposing vacant spots as retail units or residences. The council also intends to strengthen the market place by making Chester Burn more immune to flooding. Plans to upgrade car park pay and display machines could also boost footfall for the market place.

intended
While some premises in the town might currently be physically lacking, DCC aims to help to improve them. Even some retail units that are fit for purpose appear to be left empty. Right now, the town’s retail vacancy rate stands at 14.8%, which is 37.1% higher than the national average of 11.1%. Overall, Chester-le-Street has 45 vacant units, nearly 20% of which are actually in what many might deem the jewel in the town’s retail crown: St Cuthbert’s Walk Shopping Centre. However, through such measures as removing obsolete signs and putting up new ones, the local authority aims to foster an influx of new businesses. The council also intends to make Wi-Fi freely available to people in the town centre and north of the market place. Getting to the town in the first place could soon be easier, too; the council is primed, alongside partners, to lobby national rail franchise holders to start providing hourly rail services to this quaint little part of County Durham.

A CONVERSATION WITH:
STEVE SCOTT, JAMES CORNWELL INTERIORS
How did James Cornwell Interiors get started? James Cornwell Interiors started back in 2001 when I decided to go on my own after working for many companies within the trade from 1982. I saw there was a market and massive potential for it. What inspired you to get involved in the bespoke fitted furniture industry? I think everyone deserves a good job and I have skills and knowledge to do that. What makes your bespoke design service worth the money? You get more than just a product you get a fantastic service and after sales service. I am that confident with my product and team I even offer a great warranty. Is there anything about the interior tastes of County Durham residents that differs from elsewhere? Everyone’s tastes are different no matter where they are from and I like to think that we can help tap into their design dreams
Parties • Ages 1-6yrs FREE Parking Available
Bistro bar Cakes, Sandwiches & TREATS!!
What distinguishes your service from your closest local competitors? I am the man of knowledge after working within the trade since 1982. I am not a salesman. I like to think I am a peoples person. I want customers to be happy and I understand what they want. What interesting projects have you been working on recently? We have recently completed a kitchen with a converted garage and double glazing and added on a cloak room and utility this was in the North Shields area. Travelling is not an issue for us. However every project is interesting no matter how big or small as it’s all about the end result. Customers save for their dream room and to be a part of that dream is very satisfying, What are your ambitions for the company in the coming months and years? We have accomplished a lot over the 17 years, We want to provide the best service and product we know we do. What advice would you give to someone considering you for their new kitchen, bathroom, bedroom or office/study? Advice I would give someone is that we do what we say what we are going to do. We advise all the way, we don’t just try to sell a job we guide you through the whole process as I know how stressful it can be. We make that process easier with a dedicated team.

INCREDIBLES 2
A
s many avid watchers of superhero films will be able to attest, the sequels are often the most fun. That probably shouldn’t surprise given how much backstory first instalments need to set up; while Batman Begins was well-received upon its 2005 release, it was blown away by the 2008 follow-up as more of director Christopher Nolan’s ideas for the Dark Knight came to the fore. Pixar’s first stab with superheroes had an air of “origin story” about it, so how has the sequel shaped up?
In the first Incredibles film released in 2004, a superhero family consisting of Mr Incredible, his wife Elastigirl and offspring Violet and Dash were living undercover as the Parr family due to superheroes having been outlawed. Much of the story focused on their journey towards slipping back into lycra outfits while gadgetobsessed geeky villain Syndrome emerged as a threat. Naturally, he was vanquished, but superheroes stay illegal in the new story picking up straight after the first film’s. We’ve got an even more interesting and menacing villain this 24 | IN&AROUND
time around: the creepily masked Screenslaver, who can hypnotise his victims just by taking over a screen they happen to be watching. We will stop short of saying how the tussles with Screenslaver unfold, as it would tragically spoil many of the best surprises in a script where proceedings twist and turn like the shape-shifting Elastigirl herself. Again voiced by Holly Hunter, she’s joined by Craig T Nelson back as the patriarch. Not that Mr Incredible throws a lot of punches early in the film. As the Parrs investigate a PR drive aimed at rehabilitating the tarnished image of superheroes, it’s Elastigirl who gets the nod to be a reborn saviour while Mr Incredible is left homebound and looking after the kids. They include baby Jack-Jack, whose fledgling superpowers keep momentarily re-emerging to amusingly chaotic effect. It all pays off much later, as a sequence of stunning action set-pieces breaks out.

“
THE CORE OF THIS MOVIE ISN’T ABOUT THE VILLAIN IT’S ABOUT THE FAMILY AND WHAT’S GOING ON WITH THEM. THEIR REACTION TO THE SITUATIONS THAT ARE HAPPENING TO THEM.
”
Brad Bird, Director
If Incredibles 2 should be praised for one reason above all, it’s its creativity. With Elastigirl now the main focus, her flexibility – both physically and as a character – powers the unpredictability of the script compared to the original film’s. It was, after all, always discernibly harder to mine potential for quirky plotting from Mr Incredible’s superhuman strength – and as Jack-Jack’s powers multiply, it’s easy to see how he complements the new heroes that join the established crew in droves. Still, Elastigirl especially earns her place in the spotlight. It’s hard not to love her sporting her new outfit – even if she initially deplores it as too “dark and angsty” – or saddling her new Elasticycle, which she more keenly hails as “torquey!” Samuel L Jackson also returns as the ice-shooting Frozone – as if to remind us that, as can be easily seen from Jackson’s filmography since the Incredibles’ cinematic bow, the superhero genre has quickly become more well-worn than a Gareth Southgate waistcoat. Fortunately, so exhilarating is Incredibles 2 that there’s still more than enough room for it.

I contacted this firm to completely change our existing, poorly founded brickwork and damp course as we had persistent damp for many years on our 1960’s bungalow. “Mick the Brick” and the team are a tremendous asset to Findleys and achieved a wonderful job. So good, in fact, we have decided to repoint the rest of the bungalow as it now looks shabby in comparison. Excellent work, excellent skills, and the most polite and friendly tradespeople we have ever met. Fabulous outfits and you won’t be disappointed. Take our word for it. We look forward to our next job in June, we were astonished they did so much. Thank you Gemma and Timmani who kept us updated at every step of the way and to Brian the manager. Thank you all and thank you for the lovely The Posthill’s flowers which arrived today from Mr Findley.

AIN’T NOTHING LIKE THE REAL THING... BUT THE FAKE FESTIVAL COMES PRETTY CLOSE!
Imagine being able to experience six of the top bands of our time in succession – not in London, Paris or any other big city for that matter, but instead in our very own Chester-le-Street, at Riverside Park. It all sounds a bit too good to be true, right? Well, it would be too good to be true – ish. You see, sometimes, the great pretenders actually are doing well, and they don’t do much better than the top tribute bands that perform as part of the Fake Festivals that continue to take the UK by storm. So, what is the Fake Festival? Fake Festivals have been staged up and down the country already, including in the likes of Tynemouth, Doncaster, Norwich, Sheffield, Ipswich and Hull – as well as several times in Chester-le-Street, where the event has sold out for the past two years. In fact, 2018 is the 12th Fake Festival season – and these fests continue to go from strength to strength.
Rolling Stones, Foo Fighters, Kasabian, Bon Jovi and Muse respectively. But there will be so much more than the bands themselves to enjoy, as a ‘cashless’ licensed bar will also be provided within the marquee, serving chilled lager, cider, bitter, spirits, wines and soft drinks. Drink tokens will cost £3.50 each and be exchangeable at the bar for one bar (alcoholic) drink or two soft drinks. The famed family-friendliness of Fake Festivals, however, also manifests in a range of stimulations outside the marquee, including independent traders serving food such as pizza, burgers and jacket potatoes, as well as – if the weather allows – a variety of entertainment stalls, children’s rides, inflatables and face painting.
Far from a pale shadow of the real thing, these bands are professional touring acts in their own right, so you can be sure of the highest quality entertainment experience for you and your family.
So, the mundane stuff... If all of that sounds like the perfect mix of ingredients for one of the must-experience Chester-le-Street entertainment spectaculars this year, you’d be right. So why not point your web browser towards www.fakefestivals.co.uk right now, and snap up your tickets for the big event that will cost £27.50 per adult and £20 per 10 to 17-year-old if you order before the end of 3rd August?
There’s a great line-up to look forward to this year This year’s Chester-le-Street Fake Festival will take place from 12noon to 11:15pm on Saturday 4th August, and showcase the leading tribute acts Really Hot Chili Peppers, The Stones, Fu Fighters, Kazabian, Bon Jovi Experience and Musest – who will, of course, be imitating Red Hot Chili Peppers, The
Family (£80), disabled adult (£27.50) and disabled young (£20) tickets can also be purchased, and standard adult and young tickets may also be available at the festival entrance on the day if they have not already sold out. Children up to nine years old can enter for free with no ticket needed when accompanied by a paid adult, but a limit of two children per adult applies.
The principle of each Fake Festival is simple. Families and local communities get to enjoy a fun-filled day out, with six top UK tribute bands performing within a purpose-built marquee.

LIKE TO BIKE? THE CHARITY RIDE TOUR DE BRANCH IS BACK! It was only last summer that the County Durham estate agency Venture Properties, which has six offices in various parts of the county, organised its first ‘Tour de Branch’ ride for charitable cyclists. The ride, which took place on Sunday 20th August, saw non-professional cyclists – including Venture staff and friends and relatives – cycling from the agency’s most northerly office in Chester-le-Street and visiting all of the other Venture branches on the way to the Darlington outpost. That route, in case you are wondering, took in 41 miles overall – not the kind of distance that would trouble a seasoned cyclist, but still a strenuous test for our own hobbyist bikers. However, for what reason exactly were they cycling – other than the usual merits of taking a lengthy journey on a pedal bike, like improved fitness and mood and in this instance, good camaraderie? The answer is that the event was intended to raise money for the Great North Air Ambulance Service, the charity chosen for that year. We say “for that year” because, in truth, Venture’s staff had already intended to bring financial assistance to charities of the highest possible number. To put this plan into action, the company plans to annually alternate the charity that it supports through the Tour de Branch – and for the 2018 outing on 5th August, it will settle on the Alzheimer’s Society, as decided in a staff vote. In fact, the event itself is growing impressively too – so expect the fundraising to flourish like never before. Last year, the money raised for the Great North Air Ambulance Service totalled over £3,000. However, Venture isn’t content to 32 | IN&AROUND
rest with that kind of total this year; consider that, at the time of writing, the agency has already raised £3,442.67 towards an ultimate goal of £7,000. If the takings do reach that amount, they will be more than double those of 2017. The number of riders is also over twice last year’s tally – and it might not be too late for you to add yourself to it. This year’s ride will still span 41 miles and treat the Venture branches in-between Chester and Darlington as pit stops. So, if you will be at the Durham City, Crook, Bishop Auckland or Cockerton village branch that day, you might spot the cyclists nearby, getting a well-earned rest. Of course, you can get much more time with them if you actually join them on the ride, as is possible if you fire an email to daniel@venturepropertiesuk. com. You can get a t-shirt for your trouble and a £10 entry fee. However, an especially strong incentive to join is the opportunity to help the Alzheimer’s Society to fund its lifesaving work. The charity not only researches ways to tackle Alzheimer’s disease, but also supports and advises people who live with the condition and their families. Almost 15% of people aged over 71 live with this disease – and you can strengthen the impetus to tackle it if you make a donation through the Tour de Branch’s JustGiving page at www.justgiving.com/fundraising/tourdebranch2018.

EASY TO TAKE YOUR SCOOTER FOR A RIDE BRITAIN is Europe’s mobility scooter capital, with more than 350,000 in daily use on our pavements. But these helpful, nifty vehicles do their limitations. A scooter battery will typically take you about 12 miles, so you can’t stray too far in one journey. And with mobility scooters weighing from 50kg to 200kg, moving a heavier model into a car boot might risk a back injury. However, a lift on the back of the car makes it easy to transport the scooter around without struggle or risk. It means that you can revisit favourite places, go shopping more often or see family whenever you feel like it , without strain. The lift is mounted on the back of the car by means of a tow bar hitch. It has a triangular ‘male’ fitting that interlocks with a ‘female’ docking bracket attached permanently to the scooter into position, press a button and the two will lock together, so that the scooter can be lifted up behind the car, effortlessly and
40 | IN&AROUND
with good ground clearance. The lift is very simple to operate and means that there is no longer any need to dismantle the scooter to fit it into the boot. It’s alsovery stable, so you will hardly know it is there, even on rough roads. And it is slim, lightwight and easy to remove and store. Having a lift fitted opens up so many new opportunities to use your scooter without fear of injuring your back.

OXFORD
The City of Oxford is known as “the city of dreaming spires”, a description coined by the poet Matthew Arnold. It is large, populated by 170,000 permanent residents, but the ancient colleges of the university are grouped around the compact city centre and all the places you might like to visit are to the east of the railway station. Trains arrive hourly from the north east stations of Newcastle, Durham and Darlington on the Cross Country route towards Reading and Southampton. Typical journey time on these direct trains is just over four hours. On arrival, head for the City Sightseeing booth on the station concourse to pick up a map of the open top bus which tours the centre, which has a detailed street map and marks all the attractions. Not that you actually have to ride the bus, though you can if you want to, but the map itself is remarkably handy. On 4th July, I had a day in Oxford centred on the Pitt Rivers museum of anthropology and archaeology, which is free to enter, the Weston Library, part of the Bodleian Library and also free, with lunch and a concert at Corpus Christi College, which is one of the smaller colleges, founded in 1517 by Bishop Foxe who was Bishop of Winchester but who earlier had been Prince Bishop of Durham. His family emblem, the pelican in her piety, piercing her breast with her beak to feed her young, can be seen in Durham Castle, at the rear of the Great Hall and in the kitchens which he built in the period 1494-1501. I am told that the alumni (old students) of Corpus Christi are making a visit to Durham in early September to see Foxe’s work. But I digress.
colleges, all 44 of them. Many offer empty student rooms in the long vacation from early July to early October, and the availability can be found at universityrooms.com with a range of single and larger rooms, en-suite and the cheaper rooms without, modern peripheral halls which tend to be cheaper than the central ancient colleges, so there’s plenty of choice. Each College has a Porter’s Lodge protecting the quadrangle, but many of them welcome visitors for at least a few hours each day. There’s an official map, available free, published by the University, of the various colleges and museums. These latter welcome donations but have an ethos of public access and the Pitt Rivers, for example, has a policy of conserving items and putting much on display. Indeed I have rarely seen so many exhibits per square inch. I was particularly pleased to see exhibits from James Cook’s exploration of the Pacific islands, and even indigenous peoples come to see the pieces traded with their ancestors.
The Castle and Prison are a separate tourist attraction: “step inside and so 1,000 years of time”, on a one hour guided tour, shown in the pictures. The Saxon tower and crypt are there to be explored. But it’s not only buildings: the parks and gardens alongside the river with its punts and tea rooms are a delight You would not visit Oxford as a day trip from the north to be discovered. east, as it’s too far. But for one or more nights away, Oxford would be an excellent city to explore. Hotels tend to be rather Alex Nelson expensive, and even my favourite Premier Inns are north of www.universityrooms.com £150 a night in the Oxford area. But booking into an hotel www.oxfordcastleandprison.co.uk is to overlook the opportunity to stay in one of the ancient www.experienceoxfordshire.org 42 | IN&AROUND

KYNREN: CHRONICLING 2,000 YEARS OF HISTORY IN 90 MINUTES This summer, the stage show Kynren, having attracted acclaim from its first two runs in Bishop Auckland in 2016 and 2017, has returned to the town. To be more specific, the show – which uses awesome fireworks and special effects, evocative orchestral music and of course, stunning performances to tell 2,000 years of English history – all unfolds in front of Auckland Castle. However, where does the show’s name come from? It’s reminiscent of the Anglo-Saxon word cynren, which can mean generation, kindred or family. That makes the name fitting for such a family-friendly show. A history-themed show that reminds us of the present While the backdrop alone is certainly steeped in history that can be enjoyed all year round, the round of Kynren performances this summer is marking the especially timely theme In Remembrance. It’s a very apt choice of theme given that this year includes two crucial centenaries: that of the First World War Armistice – for which poppies lend a strong iconography – and the centenary of the Suffragette Movement’s success in securing women’s right to vote. In fact, Kynren has been given a fair few new scenes for 2018 – including a commemoration of the Royal Air Force’s role in the Second World War and a portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II’s Coronation in 1953. There’s even a scene dedicated to England’s triumph in the 1966 World Cup – an obvious reminder of what could have been as Gareth Southgate’s boys proceeded through the rounds of this year’s World Cup with surprising aplomb in Russia. 50 | IN&AROUND
So, what’s the story? It’s certainly long… There’s definitely an intricate and, of course, visually aweinspiring story that you can expect to see physically brought to life on the 7.5-acre stage – which, in size, matches that of five football pitches. The plot follows a young boy called Arthur on a time-travelling trip through centuries of history. Along the way, he is guided by Old Arthur, whose voice you might recognise as that of Kevin Whately. The Hexham-born former star of Auf Wiedersehen, Pet has a strong North East heritage. So, what periods of history can we expect to see depicted in the show? Frankly, it would probably be easier to list the periods that are omitted, with the historical characters actually featured including King Harold, the Vikings, Henry VIII, Shakespeare and Queens Elizabeth and Victoria. How has Kynren come about? For Kynren, you can thank Jonathan Ruffer, the millionaire philanthropist who purchased Auckland Castle and then the nearby Flatts Farm, the performance site for Kynren. At a preview of the show, Ruffer explained that Kynren was different to the Trooping of the Colour, where the only yearly change is “the name of the person who falls off the horse.” He likened Kynren to Star Wars or Harry Potter – as, even when “the same thing and same characters” keep reappearing, audiences can also see “something quite different and unique”. Kynren will be staged weekly until Saturday 15th September. For details of the precise schedule and how to buy tickets, head to www.kynren.com.

Alice in Wonderland, Gibside, Rowlands Gill
What’s on
The tale of Alice in Wonderland is one of the most iconic and long-enduring in fiction. You will soon have yet another opportunity to join Alice down the rabbit role and see such memorable characters as the Mad Hatter, White Rabbit and Queen of Hearts – except, this time, in the Georgian walled garden of the National Trust property Gibside, near Gateshead. The performance will begin at 6pm come 8th August.
August
Robin Hood: Men in Tights (Film Screening), Newcastle Castle One of the advantages of watching a historical film in a castle is that, obviously, the setting is evocative of what you are seeing unfolding on-screen. Not that the 1993 Mel Brooks-directed comedy classic Robin Hood: Men in Tights is too concerned with historical authenticity. After all, this is, through and through, a parodic treatment of the Robin Hood legend. It will start screening here at 6pm on Friday 3rd August.
Hardwick Live, Hardwick Hall Hotel, Sedgefield Every year, big-name acts come to Hardwick Hall Hotel’s grounds to unleash a weekend’s worth of amazing music for onlookers. For 2018, Hardwick Live, as the festival is called, will fall on Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th August. As for the lineup, the best-known faces will include the Kaiser Chiefs, Happy Mondays, Heather Small and Melanie C. Numerous bars and tents will serve a range of beverages to help to keep attendees replenished.
CheeseFest UK, Newcastle Racecourse
Madagascar: A Musical Adventure, Sunderland Empire
On 18th August, you will be able to enjoy a Saturday that is cheesy in the right way. That’s because, at Newcastle Racecourse, you can expect to salivate over an amazing variety of succulent cheese-based cuisine. This show attracts esteemed cheesemakers and has already toured to more than 20 UK cities. You will also have the chance to wash down those cheesy delights with some craft beers and wines that have been carefully selected for your perusal.
It’s been quite a while since the first Madagascar film by the acclaimed animation studio DreamWorks was released. That was back in 2005, but the original excitement should return for this stage adaptation, which will be at Sunderland Empire from 27th August until 1st September. The central animal characters usually call New York City’s Central Park Zoo their home, but find themselves on the island of Madagascar with unexpected – and musical – results…
Simple Minds, The Pretenders and KT Tunstall, Emirates Riverside, Chester-le-Street There’s a pretty stunning triple-header being prepared for music connoisseurs in County Durham – and the party will get underway at Durham County Cricket Club’s ground on Sunday 19th August. That’s when legendary ‘80s bands Simple Minds and The Pretenders will play a combination of their hits and fresh material in the open air. At this Grandslam 2018 gig, they will be joined by Scottish rocker KT Tunstall for a truly unmissable ticket.
