Christmas Cuppa with a Copper – Thursday 11th December

Due to the fantastic success of our ongoing initiative, we are delighted to announce the final ‘Cuppa with a Copper’ event of the year, extended to Thursday 11th December!

This unique partnership between Durham Police, Darlington Borough Council, and the Cornmill Shopping Centre aims to create a joined-up approach to improving Darlington Town Centre.

What is ‘Cuppa with a Copper’?

These are informal monthly meetings hosted at Esquires Coffee, giving members of the public a relaxed chance to raise concerns, discuss issues, and help make Darlington a safe and inviting place to visit.

Who will be there?

You will have the opportunity to speak directly with representatives from:

  • Durham Police (Darlington Neighbourhood Team)
  • Darlington Borough Council (Anti-Social Behaviour & CCTV Teams)
  • Cornmill Centre Security

As Inspector Matt Plumb noted, “We are committed to making Darlington safer for business, visitors and our residents, and events like these allow us to reach those who want to speak to us and share ideas.”

Zoe France, Centre Manager, adds, “It is a great opportunity, not just to contribute to improving our fantastic town centre, but also just to come for a chat and a coffee with others who are passionate about Darlington.”

Come down, grab a delicious cup of coffee at Esquires, and let your voice be heard!
