Peterlee

Peterlee lies in County Durham, easily reached via the A19 from Newcastle (20 miles) or Hartlepool (10 miles). Local routes like the B1320 connect former mining villages including Horden and Easington. The town sits between the A19 corridor and Durham's Heritage Coast, with approximately 150 EV charging points available. Designated as a new town in 1948, it was named after Peter Lee, a miners' leader who became Durham County Council's first working-class chairman.
