What is my house number

Okay so I posted previously because I couldn't confirm my new house number. I got a good link to royal mail but now it turns out they cant confirm my house number and have told me to contact my local council. Problem is I don't know who my local council are? Some say Peterlee, others say East Durham.

I thought I lived in Horden but all letters say Peterlee.

I have some mail that says number 24 (from organisations I have contacted and manually gave my address) but I do get the odd letter that says 23. All websites and companies I contact (including Royal Mail) can only see number 23 or 25, etc as the closest numbers to mine.

My house used to be a shop but got converted to a house around four to five years ago.

So... does anybody know who the local council is for Peterlee?

    Who do you pay your council tax to?

    I would have thought it would be Durham County Council.

    Have you not had a council tax bill? I would go with the address that's on there.

    Durham is a unitary authority so the whole county is now under one local authority - each of the old districts still has customer service centres so your probably best off visiting the nearest one.

    This will show your nearest office - http://www.durham.gov.uk/Pages/Service.aspx?ServiceId=7752
    I no longer work in Council Tax Recovery but instead work as a specialist Council Tax paralegal assisting landlords and Council Tax payers with council tax disputes and valuation tribunals. My views are my own reading of the law and you should always check with the local authority in question.
