Question 16 - we asked:

Deerness has some great off-road routes but they don't connect with Durham City, being blocked by the A167, and there is no provision on Neville's Cross Bank & Lowes Barn Bank. What would you do to connect villages like Bearpark, Ushaw Moor and Broompark to enable cycling to the city?

We asked this question only in Deerness.

The Esh Winning to Durham B6302 road is the most direct route to the City and could become the arterial cycle route with the provision of protected cycle/pedestrian lanes together with designated feeder links from the villages utilising and improving existing surfaces. Working with other councillors I would wish to see the development of the cycle route to the City centre via Lowes Barn Bank. This could link with a similar arterial cycle route through Brandon and Langley Moor.
