I think that the Blue Route at Rokeby is the necessary route that should be chosen. The reason for this being that I accept the potential for increased traffic flows from Cross Lanes junction down the B6277 to County Bridge will impact negatively at Startforth especially for the pedestrians on The Sill, which is hazardous now. The historic County Bridge should be protected. English Heritage's argument to preserve the landscape at Rokeby is dubious when it has already been disturbed when the present junction with the A66 was installed. It is very important to have a safe environment for all road users of the A66 but also equally important for road users and pedestrians in Startforth. Public Safety must be a priority.
