Durham County Council have posted notices in the village centre about the renewal of the existing parking restrictions. The Traffic Regulation Order is being made in readiness for the new Civil Parking Enforcement regime that is being introduced in November. This is when the County Council will take over the responsibility for enforcing parking restrictions, from the police.
More information is available on the County Council website.
As part of its study, ‘The Parking Lot’ [a focus group set up by the Village Trust] has investigated parking provision in the village centre. It has been discussing solutions with county councillors and engineers from the traffic section and hopes that a review of parking restrictions will be carried out.
