Hello and Welcome
I am Sarah Hannan and I care about the countryside.
I am a Green Party Activist in Lower Teesdale and I have been a Parish Councillor in Gainford for the last 15 years.
Durham County Council Elections 1st May
I am standing for election on the 1st May as a Durham County Councillor for the Lower Teesdale area.
Resident of 19+ Years
I’ve lived in the constituency for 19 years and work as a welfare rights adviser in Middlesbrough.
A Parish Councillor for Gainford and Langton, I championed the provision of fun with food activities after lockdown, sports facilities and allotments in the village.
I have been a vocal opponent of development on green field sites and supportive of development of former industrial areas.
British food produced to British standards by British farmers!
My priorities if elected to Durham County Council are:

Ensuring sustainable food production supporting nature.
Regeneration of town centres
Making them an attractive inviting destination to live, work, visit and shop in.
