Illegal parking and driver not giving a shit about the danger he is causing, 27th April
Driver doesn’t care he is parked on double yellow lines or that he is causing a serious road hazard as the corner is just off a roundabout and there have been some very close calls of head on accidents in the past with people parking there

This through road is a public right of way, used daily by 100's vehicles and foot traffic, 9th March
As you can see in the photo's this road is in serious need of repair. It has lots of foot traffic everyday including pensioners, ladies with babies in pushchairs, school children, as well as huge 32 tonne bin lorries, delivery vehicles, cars etc... but the Durham County Council response to my concerns, (especially as the road has NO footpath) was as follows... " An investigation has been carried out and the road is NOT considered hazardous, dangerous, or in need of essential maintenance. I would say, they are turning a blind eye and as the photo's show it is desperately in need of repair.

Footpath problems, 19th August
This is supposed to be the Weardale Way, an important long-distant footpath. It's also part of the Camino Ingles from Durham Cathedral to Escomb. However just after the gate into Broken bank the path fragments into several ill-defined tracks into and through the woods, with a nasty stream crossing at the end. Signage and path clearing is inadequate especially for a path promoted to visitors

House is shaking when busses go passed, 7th November
Every time a bus flies passed our house the house shakes, it’s causing some parts of the walls to develop small cracks, the worst being on the stairs. We bought this house last year and have realised it’s due to the busses passing at speed (usually) and shaking the house. We had the house replastered last year due to the walls being in such a state from the previous owners and they were perfectly fine but they’ve gradually formed cracks.

Zebra crossing vehicles not stopping or overtaking stationary vehicles, 12th June
Zebra crossing on Cockton Hill Road near junction with McIntyre Tce/Northumberland Av. I use this crossing on a regular basis, the road can be very busy at peak times and find if a bus or large vehicle is near it is danger trying to cross as pedestrians can't be seen. Cars don't stop for pedestrians. When crossing 10 minutes ago a van overtook 3 stationary cars, who had stopped for me and luckily I had reached the other side, just in time!! It is a school crossing as well and the lady who has the job of trying to keep the kids safe has the same problems, traffic doesn't always stop. Perhaps it needs reviewing and a pelican crossing would be safer?!
