From Durham OnAir from Friday, December 12th, 2025

Durham OnAir is calling on all music lovers across County Durham and the North East to help create the ultimate festive soundtrack by voting for their favourite Christmas hits. You could be in with a chance of winning a £50 Amazon voucher as well!

Newcastle Hospitals and The Sir Bobby Robson Foundation, part of Newcastle Hospitals Charity, are building the world-class facility, which will benefit patients from the North East and beyond.

Firefighters are urging people to make sure that fire safety is at the top of their Christmas list, so that this festive season is memorable for all the right reasons. County Durham and Darlington Fire and Rescue Service (CDDFRS) has issued important cooking and electrical advice to households to help prevent a fire from breaking out in their home.
