Murton Parish Council

  • Description

    Website of Murton Parish Council, County Durham. "....Murton Parish Council was established by the Local Government Act 1894, and held its first ever Meeting in a classroom at Murton Colliery School, on Tuesday 4th December 1894. Its original title was East Murton Parish Council, taken from the area surrounding the Colliery where the bulk of the population lived and worked. The west area of Murton at that time comprised of a small number of landed properties, farms and the village pub (The Village Inn). As the population increased over the years and more properties were developed in the west ward, it was decided by the Council to drop ‘East’ from its title in order to encompass the whole village. This was formally approved just prior to The Local Government Act 1972...."
