Petition launched over A68 bypass for County Durham villages


“The route proposed is half a bypass, which doesn’t solve half the problem.
“It would dissect the village of Toft Hill, failing to solve anything for the houses at the very top of the village, and doing nothing at all for the residents, businesses and three schools in West Auckland.
“What we want is to slow down, for the bid to be withdrawn to allow proper consultation.
“If there’s overwhelming support for a different route, for a proper bypass from the A68 Cafe above Toft Hill down to the Oakley roundabout at West Auckland, rather than a link road, then a new bid could be submitted at the next opportunity.

Petition launched over A68 bypass for County Durham villages | Darlington and Stockton Times


A PETITION has been launched by campaigners in neighbouring villages who want to put the brakes on plans for a new road.
Durham County Council and MP Dehenna Davison have applied for £20m from the Government’s Levelling Up Fund for three projects across the Bishop Auckland constituency.
If successful, £10.8m would go on re-routing the A68 to bypass Toft Hill, and the rest on reopening the historic Grade II* listed Whorlton Bridge in Teesdale, which is currently shut because it is structurally unsafe, and towards a £15m scheme at Locomotion in Shildon.
For years, community leaders, residents and businesses have agreed an A68 bypass is needed to alleviate the volume of traffic, particularly HGVs, passing through Toft Hill.
