Question 20 - we asked:

Would you support the creation of a cycle lane/shared use path to enable people to cycle in safety and make cycling a viable alternative to car use between the settlements of Chester le Street, Pelton Fell and Craghead? How soon could this be built?

The B6313 which runs from Chester le Street to Craghead is a steep hill. The speed limit increases from 30mph to 40mph, then national speed limit beyond Pelton Fell. As a result people do not feel safe cycling in both directions with vehicles travelling in excess of 60mph on the downhill, and when riding uphill from the town centre to Pelton Fell and beyond, slow moving cyclists are at risk of being hit from behind by vehicles.

We asked this question in these 2 divisions: , Chester-le-Street West Central.
