Chester-le-Street and District AAP Board meetings


We hold regular Board meetings where we put plans and actions in place to help community groups and local organisations develop projects that meet our AAP priorities.

The Board also looks at how those projects are progressing and gets involved in consultations on local issues. 

Follow Chester-le-Street and District Area Action Partnership on Facebook for the latest meeting information.
