Did Hebburn people know this?

Posted by Norman Dunn on 5/7/2025, 12:09 pm

This story has just been passed onto me.
Will residents of Durham Court that are getting evicted get the opportunity to move into this complex if they wish?
Where did the name 'Griffin Court' come from?
(A Griffin is a mythical bird)
I've never heard of a Griffin name in Hebburn.
Do our Councillors never think about honouring people who did a lot for our Town? people like Alphonse Reyrolle & then Henry Clothier after Alphonse died. That Company employed well over 12 thousand local people for not far short of 100 years.

Griffin Court, Hebburn

The 95-apartment scheme, on the site of the former Lincoln Court scheme just behind Hebburn Central, is a partnership between Karbon Homes and South Tyneside Council, with Robertson Construction North East appointed as the lead contractor for the development.

The scheme will supply high-quality homes, designed for those who have additional support and care needs to live independently. There will be a whole host of facilities and amenities onsite to support and promote independent living.

20 two-bed and 75 one-bed apartments, 17 of which will be specialist dementia apartments. All apartments will be for rent. The homes will be owned and managed by Karbon with South Tyneside Council’s Adult Social Care team supporting with the allocation of the apartments. This scheme is available for anyone aged 18+.
Photo below is an example of what it should look like.

Well it wouldn’t excite me to live there. It sounds if it will have problems.

If I remember correctly the griffin was the symbol of Hebburn and on the coat of arms. I remember seeing it somewhere? in Hebburn council offices.

Council offices in Hebburn had an anvil and hammer and sickle (scuse spelling) above the front entrance, god only knows why and god only knows how much the public paid for it.

If Karbon are the housing providers the rent will be a lot more than Durham Court, they aren't the cheapest of housing associations.

More Reds in South Tyneside labour run council than the Kremlin.

Hi there,

I sent an email a little while back regarding your accounting and IRS representation needs, but I_m not sure if it reached the right person _ it may have fallen through the cracks.

Just reaching out here through your website to make sure this gets to someone who can take a look. I_d really appreciate it if someone could get back to me.

You can reach me directly at Tony@CloudCPA.net

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Tony
