Removing oil from block paving can be tricky, and a professional clean and re-point is often the best option. However, for small stains, especially recent ones, it’s worth attempting to clean it yourself. To do this, you can purchase oil remover or driveway cleaning solutions – although be careful, as some may stain or mark certain kinds of paving stones. In general, stay away from acid based cleaners.
Wingate
Wingate is a town in County Durham, England. Wingate is a former pit village with a mixture of 19th-century, post-war, and also much more recent housing developments. It was originally occupied by around 30 farmers before 1839 when coal was discovered. It is located in the East of County Durham, 3 miles south west of Peterlee, and also 7 miles north west of Hartlepool. Similar to most towns in the location, it grew rapidly with the growth of coal-mining in the area. The name Wingate is stated to originate from the Anglo-Saxon words windig (gusty) and geat (roadway) meaning gusty road. Like all County Durham villages, locals are understood to speak the pitmatic language although new housing developments has actually seen a sharp increase in the village's population. An electoral ward in the same name exists. This ward extends north eastern to Peterlee and also has a complete population, taken at the 2011 census, of 10,302.
