After residents of Broad Road expressed their concerns last week about speeding vehicles coming into and leaving Blackhall Rocks we contacted the Traffic Management Officer at Durham Constabulary to request a traffic survey for the area.
The usual route when residents express their concerns about traffic in their community is through the PACT (Police and Communities Together) process following which a Community Speed Watch survey can be carried out by residents with the help of the police.
However, due to certain circumstances at this particular location we asked the police if they would carry out a full traffic survey and we were pleased to receive confirmation this morning that the police and county council had agreed to our request.
A survey will be carried out soon with findings published shortly afterwards.
