Instead of meeting at the Parish Council offices on Thursday 14th May, we shall be meeting at the Lord Boyne Hotel at 7pm. Please come along - rather appropriately, we shall be discussing the design of the mural to be painted on the Lord Boyne wall.

🗣️ Are you a local business?

Why not come along to Friends of Langley Moor public meetings?

There are so many businesses in and around Langley Moor, it would be great to get representatives from the local business community. Simple conversations can lead to collaboration and a positive impact to our local communities 🙌🏻

Meetings are 2nd Thursday of the month, 7pm at Brandon & Byshottles Parish offices, Goatbeck Terrace, Langley Moor. There is no meeting in August.

Even if you just wanted to come for a cuppa, all are welcome ☕️ 😀

OBITUARY FOR THE LATE PAUL TAYLOR
It is with great sadness that I inform you that one of our co-founders, Alderman Paul Taylor, has passed away after a short illness.
The creation of the Friends of Langley Moor came about after Danny and Beryl Bone made enquiries to Paul Taylor and John Turnbull about a Christmas tree for Langley Moor. The Friends group was formed with local residents and businesses in Langley Moor to attempt to improve the local area. After the success of the first Christmas tree, the group organised litter picks around the area. Then came the improvements to Holliday Park, which included play equipment, seating and flower planters.

The next project was to tidy up the run-down area between the Post Office and Daisy Mill café. Paul and John managed to secure funding for the project, which is now known as Boyne Place. Boyne Place won an environmental award for the improvement it made to the High Street; it was followed by more planters on the High Street.

From the community of Langley Moor, Rest In Peace Paul. Thank you for all your assistance in improving our area.

Hi everyone,

Friends of Langley Moor are in talks about a mural on side of the Lord Boyne hotel. We recently met with Lewis Hobson (of Durham Spray Paints), and three suggestions have been made for this mural.
Please see attached 1st photo of the suggestions, and if you are interested, please submit your views by 5th January 2026 to Friends of Langley Moor Acting Chair John Chapman, email [email protected] .
