Debbie is our Queen of #ChesterleStreet! Thank you Coffee Bank for cheering up the town with your fantastic #PlatinumJubilee window. We've spotted some great celebratory windows across the town, and will be sharing more of them over the next couple of weeks 👸🇬🇧

It was lovely to meet Kel from @makeup_by_kel_ at @be_you_studios_ yesterday!

Tucked upstairs above Card Factory in #ChesterleStreet, we think this has to be one of the most Instagrammable entrances we've ever seen. Beautiful! 💗💗💗

Christmas tree? Check. Sleigh bells? Check. Mistletoe? Check! We've gone full-on festive for our #Christmas in #ChesterleStreet social media graphic, and hope you like it 😀🎄

Remember, this Christmas you can not only pick up some lovely and distinctive gift ideas from your local Chester-le-Street businesses, but by spending locally you are helping keep money in County Durham, rather than sending it into space 😜🚀

We were pleased to meet Mavis and Melissa at Miss

We were pleased to meet Mavis and Melissa at Miss Molly yesterday, a new independent ladies' clothing shop that opened a fortnight ago at 132 Front Street.

Filling the space that used to be the RSPCA charity shop, Mavis and her family have rallied around to transform the premises into a warm and welcoming boutique. Ladies of all shapes and ages can find stylish fashions to suit them, with Mavis on hand to share her advice and styling tips.

With customers already visiting from as far afield as Washington and Newcastle, it seems that Mavis is on to a winning formula! It's always lovely to see a new shop opening, and we wish Miss Molly well 💜

It was really lovely to meet Tim and Liam today, who have recently taken over the long-established Groomers, in Church Chare, and are transforming it into their second @mydogbarber branch!

You can look forward to a fully refurbished dog grooming salon next year, but in the meantime the premises have already had a welcome spruce-up, while continuing to offer the great service - and the same friendly team! - that you have got to know over the years.

We look forward to following the boys' progress, and to sharing their news!

Don't forget, you can still park for free in Durha

Don't forget, you can still park for free in Durham County Council car parks in #ChesterleStreet after 2pm each day. Great for popping to the post office, enjoying a coffee with friends, or nipping to the shops! 🅿️🕑 #CLSIsOpen #FreeParking #FreeAfterTwo

It's scary to think about it, but it won't be too long until we're all thinking about #Christmas windows again!

These are some of the brilliant entries from last year. This time, we'll be pulling out all the stops to get a record-breaking number of local businesses involved! ☃️🎁🎄

We were delighted to visit #ChesterleStreet community venue Bullion Hall last week, where Chief Officer Belinda gave us a tour and highlighted the wealth of activities, classes and good work that take place there every day. There's an even a cafe, open every weekday from 9.30 to 1, where anyone can go and enjoy a coffee or a tasty meal for very affordable prices. Such an asset to our town! #communitycentre #hallhire #roomhire

We know Front Street Italian restaurant Fabio's has *lots* of fans locally, but until this evening we'd never actually been there ourselves.

Needless to say, the smart decor, efficient service and tasty (and great value!) food went down a treat with @grahamsoult from Shop Chester-le-Street and @bartlett_96 from the @roamlocal_app. We'll definitely be back! 💪🦁🇮🇹

Health shop Seasons - located by the traffic light

Health shop Seasons - located by the traffic lights at Bridge End - has always been #ChesterleStreet's go-to place for alternative, holistic and health-food products, but its old sign (bottom pic) was looking a little tired. Now, with a bright new sign in its place (top pic) - and a smart paint job too - no-one has any excuse for not knowing what Seasons offers, or that it's there at all! #clsisopen #healthshop #healthfoods #holistichealth

Yesterday we returned to enjoy lunch at Ashley Cot

Yesterday we returned to enjoy lunch at Ashley Cottage Tearoom for the first time since cafes were able to reopen as normal back in May.

We love the great-value food and always-warm welcome, but the real pièce de résistance at Ashley Cottage is its tiny but delightful tea garden. Accommodating just four tables (don't worry - there are plenty more inside!), you can enjoy a pot of tea - or whatever else you fancy - surrounded by colourful flowers and cute garden ornaments, and feel like you're tucked away in the garden of a country cottage.

In reality, of course, you're barely 50 metres from #ChesterleStreet Front Street! Ashley Cottage has plenty of loyal regulars as well as those who stumble across it while visiting the town, but it's easy to get to if you haven't discovered it already. Just head up the little lane - Ashley Terrace - between Go North East and Homefair Blinds.

Beautiful flowers and people enjoying alfresco drinks at Coffee Bank this morning. Our town really is particularly lovely when the sun comes out! 💜 #chesterlestreet #clsisopen #flowers #summer #countydurham

It opened in the former Phones 4u back in 2014, but there are still people who haven't yet realised that #ChesterleStreet has its very own Vodafone store!

Call in and meet Mick and his friendly team, to find all the latest handset deals as well as a range of useful accessories.

Always popular, the store has been operated by franchise partner @dynamickltd since October last year - and is going from strength to strength under its new local ownership! Mick is keen to make his store an even bigger part of the Chester-le-Street community, and we look forward to sharing his news and updates with you in the months ahead.

Andrew from the Roam Local app was in town today, and took advantage of the fine weather to sit outside at Coffee Bank.

After enjoying a delicious large mocha, it wasn't just the coffee that was smiling! 😊☕🦁
