Consultation has concluded
The Audit and Governance Committee are carrying out a scrutiny investigation into derelict land and buildings in Hartlepool. This includes both residential and commercial buildings.
A derelict building is one which is:
Unoccupied - i.e. no one lives there or in the case of commercial buildings the business has gone
In a badly damaged or dangerous condition - not just dirty or has a sofa in the front garden but for example the roof might be gone, there might be extensive fire damage or the windows could be all smashed or boarded up
No one enters or leaves the property on a regular basis
In the case of derelict land it could have (for example) extensive fly tipped waste, be extremely overgrown with brambles or bushes, or be the unused site of a demolished building
We recognise the detrimental impact of derelict buildings on communities in areas such as -
The health and wellbeing of the population (including mental health)
Crime and antisocial behaviour
Sense of pride in the town
Feeling part of the community
The local economy
We would like to hear views from residents, businesses and visitors to the town about the sites which concern you and how they affect you. We also like to hear your suggestions for actions we can take to tackle these issues.
If you want to tell us about a public building, commercial building, former business unit or area of land use the places tool to drop a pin on the map showing the site you want to tell us about. Then answer a few questions to tell us about it. If you have a photo of the site you can upload it too!
If you are a member of a community group, business or organisation and would like a member of the Audit and Governance Committee to come and talk to you about the issues you have raised in this survey, please give us your name and contact details.

This survey can be completed by users of assistive technology, such as screen readers, or anyone else who is unable to drop a pin on the places map tool to tell us about a derelict site. If you have an image of the site you want to tell us about you can upload it as part of the survey. Acceptable file types are JPEG and PNG files. Maximum image size is 10MB.
If you have already used the places tool to drop a pin, you do not need to complete this survey as well because the results from the two tools will be combined for analysis.
