Question 19 - we asked:
Major private investment is going into the development of the Integra 61 site at Bowburn. The initial planning application estimated that 97% of employees at this development would arrive by car. Despite the obvious need, there have been no improvements in the area to give people safe cycle or walking routes to Integra 61. Connections from Coxhoe, West Cornforth, Ferryhill and Spennymoor could all be provided. Would you commit to working to get safe routes delivered, and how do you think this could be achieved?
We asked this question in these 5 divisions: , Coxhoe, Ferryhill, Spennymoor, Tudhoe.

Access to employment has always been a big issue in the travel to work area in Sedgefield District. More emphasis should be made on public transport to access the work place. More beneficial would be safe cycling routes and the continuation of schemes that give potential employees access to a bike or a low emission motorcycle. |
| Julie Michelle STIRK (Labour Party) |
Yes, I would commit to this. |
