Request for resurfacing works behind Glenholme Terrace

For some time now I've tried, with varying degrees of success, to get the back lane behind Glenholme Terrace resurfaced. I'm told repeatedly that the road is not owned by Durham County Council and that they will not carry out repairs on private property - despite the dreadful condition of the surface in some parts.

It looks like there's some level of confusion about responsibility for repairing the road at this location. From the images I've taken this morning it's obvious that some resurfacing has been carried out in the past, and the work itself looks as though it's been done professionally. However, further up the lane, towards where the WMC once was, the surface of the road looks as though it's never been resurfaced.

Following conversations recently with one or two of the residents nearby I've resubmitted a request for the whole of the surface to be inspected and for repair works to be carried out to bring the road up to a decent standard.

I'll update on the outcome of my latest request, but in the meantime please follow this link for more background information on this long-running issue: Highways, housing and footpath repair queries
