This ancient route/gateway into the City directly connecting
Upper and Lower Gilesgate is of immense importance. The current
diversion at traffic lights across the A690 is dangerous and a
lengthy diversion, completely at odds with existing Council Duties
and Policies. These include:
Encouraging walking into and out of the City, and to and from
school
Supporting older people, vulnerable adults and
people with disabilities
Improving air quality
Supporting independent businesses on Claypath, in Gilesgate,
Belmont and Carrville.
Durham County Council has stated:
" We want to continue to add years to life by reducing avoidable
deaths; to add health to
life by reducing disability and disease; and to add life to years
by enhancing quality of
life and to see our communities thrive. " - so find a option and
save the Leazes Footbridge, Durham City.
