By recognising that different parts of the District have different needs and issues, Area Based Working is designed to identify these certain area issues and address priorities at a local level. In order to do so, we have designated five separate areas of Richmondshire based on local service centres:
- North Richmondshire
- Centre
- The Garrison Area
- Lower Wensleydale
- Upper Dales
We hope by doing this, we find residents will become more involved in decisions which affect them, as well as having a better understanding of what the area’s priorities are and how to help deal with them. Each area also has its own detailed evidence based profile, building a picture of the place and the people who live and work there.
This approach will provide an opportunity to discuss local concerns and issues, and will be one of the main ways in which we engage with our communities. We hope we can get district councillors, parish councillors, members of the public and representatives of community groups, local businesses, partners and other agencies involved.

North Richmondshire Area
|
Settlements more closely aligned to Tees Valley from Barnard Castle to Darlington along the A66, A1M and A167 routes. The landscape is mainly Tees lowland, but with a high ridge that separates the Tees and Swale watersheds. It has a fairly remote rural character, despite sitting between the towns of Barnard Castle, Richmond and Darlington. The major A1 and A66 transport routes, converge at Scotch Corner. This famous intersection was originally built by the Romans, who took control of the North at the battle of Scotch Corner in AD 71. |
