Welcome to the Haswells Residents Association

The Residents Association was formed in May 2017, with one aim in mind - to reinvigorate community spirit.

Haswell was once a thriving village with a great sense of community. Everyone knew their neighbours, amenities were many and varied and social and cultural ties made for a tight knit community.

However, in 1964 Haswell was listed as one of the 121 'category D' villages. The inhabitants would be re-housed in the neighbouring new town of Peterlee, the community would disintegrate and sooner or later the village would die.

Despite being condemned Haswell refused to lie down and die.

Haswell is situated in potentially desirable green and pleasant surroundings and is finding new life as a countryside commuter village.

Our aim is to bring the old and new communities together to build a safe and secure environment for our families and to promote neighbourliness.
