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.

Tarmac and graffiti, 13th July
We have just had the road resurfaced at the roundabout and the workmen were supposed to take 9 nights to do the job. They did it in 7 and feel they have rushed the last night as there is loads of tarmac left in the car park and it looks a total mess. Graffiti has been painted on the floor and the roundabout hasn’t been properly finished with correct markings. There is also a white arrow which is wrongly been painted on the road leaving the roundabout towards coundon that tells you to return to the 1st lane even though it’s a 2 lane round all the way up to coundon.

Barrier collapsed some months ago, now dangerous again, 16th October
The concrete post and metal rail barrier above the steep embankment down to the River Gaunless at Rosemount Road looks as though it dates from the 20th century and has apparently come to the end of its life. A temporary plastic barrier was installed some months ago but has now collapsed, and another section of the original barrier is now broken.

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?!
