Seaton with Slingley Parish Council has signed up and pledged to join the County Durham Single Use Plastics Pledge.
Single use plastics are used only once before they are thrown away or recycled. These items are things like plastic bags, straws, coffee stirrers, water bottles and most food packaging.
It is thought that more than five trillion pieces of plastic are in the world’s oceans and it can take years for it to break down. Most of it isn’t biodegradable, it doesn’t rot like paper or food and so it can hang around in the environment for hundreds of years.
Find out what happens to your plastic on Durham County Council’s What happens to your recycling page.
There are all sorts of things you can choose to do your bit such as:

As the nights draw in, crime rates can go up so here are some tips for staying safe this winter
1 Check all doors and windows are locked and always make it look like someone is home. Put a lamp on a timer or play a radio when your house is not occupied
2 Do not leave car keys or valuables on show. Especially near windows or letterboxes where burglars can reach through.
3 Never leave your car unattended while you defrost it. Do not be tempted to turn on the demister and go back into the house.
4 Be mindful of where you go on dark nights. Avoid dark shortcuts and always park in well-lit places.
5 Only ever get in a licensed taxi. Be sure to check the vehicle plate and driver ID badge before entering.
It’s a crime not to care where your waste items end up. If your item ends up fly-tipped, Durham County Council can trace it back to you. They can then issue a Fixed Penalty Notice of £400 for fly-tipping and regularly prosecute fly-tippers and unlicensed waste carriers through the magistrate’s courts.
