In the towns the drivers are predominantly none white, in the rural area's the drivers are predominantly white, go figure................... :)

That's because the non locals are incapable of correct use of vehicle lights or travelling at over 35 mph and therefore must stay within 50 yards of a sodium lit 30 limit :-X same the world over ::)

Job is not an issue just looking to try somewhere new

Sorry btc, your post kind of got hijacked, for which I apologise..... :)
Seaham and Murton are a bit off my track, and not spend much time their since the Mines closed, I was in very different employment in those days.......... ;)
Neither are bad places, a lot of regeneration over the years, hopefully Philrich or Moggy may see this and be able to offer more local information. As a County, Durham offers a wide range of differing landscapes from sea to dale, and is a beautiful County to live in. The Council is not too bad either, given the times we live in............ :y

Fair dos :y
Architecturally an interesting city, relatively cheap property, nice scenery (if a little bleak) :-\
I'm sure Vamps can direct you to the nicer places around the area :y

It was partly the house prices that caught my eye I know there used to be an area with a bit of a reputation Ferryhill I think it was

If your after a more relaxing quality of life, its hard to beat the north east of England.
In fact anywhere between the north bank of the Humber to the borders is the dogs gonads for me.
Fresh air, great driving roads, cheep property and decent beer are some of the many benefits :y :y

Just up the road, and not that bad at all. I work for a neighboring authority, and Ferryhill is a piece of pi** by comparison........... :y There are still some cheap properties for sale, but not that cheap, though I do know where houses have been sold for £1.00, not in Durham though...... ;) ;)
What kind of work do you do, or, are you retired? if the latter, you may be better going inland, not cheap but some fabulous villages............... :y :y

I am medically retired so Ferryhill is not too bad I think I may need to book a hotel and go up and have look . Thanks for all the responses keep them coming :y

If I were looking to buy Chilton would not be on my top 100 places to look, Trimdon, depends which one, these are, Trimdon Colliery, Village and Station.
Over the years I have known people from all these areas, there are good and bad everywhere. Since all the mines have gone, the whole area of the North East is much cleaner.
I am sure there is site that lists the number and types of crimes all over the Country, might be worth a read............ :y :y
Edit. Found it http://www.police.uk

Thanks had a look at the crime maps none seen that bad and it is Trimdon village or Grange
