About the Ward:

Nevilles Cross takes in a long thin section to the west of the city centre area including Framwellgate and Crossgate and up to County Hall.

Local people are campaigning for a community centre and I support that campaign.

This area is also home to the Crossgate site of Durham Johnston School and the site of the new school buildings being constructed at the moment.
