URBAN II - Community Initiative for Hetton & Murton

The URBAN II Hetton and Murton Community Initiative is being delivered by the Connecting the Coalfields Partnership. The Partnership is investing over £8 million of European Regional Development Fund money in the communities of the Hetton and Murton area. That money is being matched from other sources to make a total investment of over £17 million.

A programme of projects is developing the social and economic circumstances of the villages of this former coal mining area. Different organisations are delivering individual projects that provide a range of services and facilities. The Partnership will continue to accept project proposals and allocate funding to new projects. The Initiative will run to December 2008 and will have allocated all of the funding by December 2006.
