I visited a number of sites in our area last week with officers from Durham County Council to take a closer look at residents' reports of damaged pavements.
Highways officers have agreed to assess costs and carry out surface repairs as a matter of urgency at the bend at the Hardwicke Hall and also at Pieroni's corner at Blackhall Rocks. This is because of the severity of the damage to pavements and associated danger to pedestrians in those areas (see post dated 26 September 2012).
Pavements at Station Road in Blackhall Rocks and at Front Street in Hesleden will be revisited early next year with a view to carrying out repairs after the spring when new highways budgets are in place.
