That the proposed junction and route at the East end of the Cross Lanes to Rokeby section of the upgrade, the 'Black Route' does not recognise the harms it will impose on Startforth and the lower parts of Barnard Castle by increased traffic flow. Additionally the 'harms' to the historic assets of St Mary's Church, Rokeby Park and Garden by adopting the Blue Route' have been accepted without apparent question by National Highways. The lack of balancing these different harms has led to the liaison group wishing to presenting their view to the examination.
