Football Pitch Improvements

We are very pleased that Sherburn Village Parish Council has been able to secure funding from the Football Foundation to make much needed improvements to the football pitch at Sherburn Village Park.

This is a 6 year programme which began on 20^th May 2025 with spiking to improve drainage and grass expansion.

Next steps include herbicide application, grass overseeding, fertilising and treatment to goal mouths and hollows.

The work will be ongoing until July and during this time it would be appreciated if  people could stay off the pitch as much as possible. Access to the Durham City Gymnastics Centre, the playground and outdoor will be unaffected.

Precept for 2024/25

At the meeting of Sherburn Village Parish Council on 9th January 2024, it was agreed to set a Council Tax precept of £27.01 for the year 2024/25 for band D equivalent properties. The effect of this is that the amount payable by residents of Sherburn Village remains unchanged from 2023/24.
