Dear All

Since the original consultation exercise in December I have been involved in numerous discussions with Durham County Councillors, the County Councils Legal Dept,LARA and the North Trail Riders Association and can update you as follows.

Durham County Council intend to;

1. Place an order with our contractor to remove the existing prohibition of driving signage from the site.

2. Not proceed any further with the proposed prohibition of motor vehicles order.

3. Inspect / monitor the site for a period of 12 months in an attempt to determine the extent / origin of any damage caused.

4. Write to the local landowners to ask that they remove any animal feeders from the line of the unmade road.

5. Depending on the results of the inspections, we may then look to progress a voluntary agreement at the site.

I hope you find the above acceptable, however if you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

Regards

Lee Mowbray
