Short trips, flexible days
Because it is so close, DH2 and DH3 addresses are easy to slot in, including on short notice when the weather allows. That matters most in late autumn, when everyone wants their gutters cleared in the same few weeks after the leaves come down.
The town mixes older terraced streets near the centre with newer estates on the outskirts. Terraces tend to have shared downpipes and long runs where a blockage at one house backs up the next; newer estates often have shallow gutters that overflow quickly once moss from the roof washes into them.
