HOUSING organisation Dale and Valley Homes moves into its new headquarters on Monday.

The company, which manages council housing in Wear Valley, has operated from various offices around the district since being established three years ago.

But from Monday, the organisation will operate from under one roof at South Church Enterprise Park in Bishop Auckland.

The new office has disabled access, baby change facilities, and customer parking, but customers are advised that no cash payments will be accepted over the counter.

Counter services at Woodhouse Close in Bishop Auckland, and Crook Civic Centre are changing in the summer, but will continue operating as normal in the meantime.

The new headquarters address is Dale and Valley House, Wear Valley Business Centre, 27 Longfield Road, South Church Enterprise Park, Bishop Auckland, DL3 6XB.

The new free phone number is 0800-083-0333, and the low rate number for mobile phone calls is 0300-200-0194.
