A NEW community network will roll out across the former Durham coalfield as part of the £7.25m regeneration programme at The Pitman’s Parliament. Inspired by the historic lodge system of the Durham Miners Association (DMA), the network aims to revitalise and promote coalfield culture, bringing former mining communities together to take pride in their heritage. Redhills – Durham Miners Hall recently secured £4.5million from The National Lottery Heritage Fund toward its restoration and renewal as a centre of culture, heritage and education. The DMA said it is determined that the renewal of its home will benefit former mining communities across the region.
