Your Neighbourhood Inspector
Hello, I'm Paul Anderson, Neighbourhood Inspector for Durham. I have previously worked in a similar role in Chester le Street, so bring a great deal of experience to the role. My aim is to make Durham a safer place to live, work and visit. To achieve this, I believe it is important to work as a team, not only within our own organisation but with partners and the community, themselves. We will look to improve confidence and provide reassurance, by listening to the public and address problems together, as 'together we will make a difference'.
