I wish to make the case for the Blue Route at Rokeby. 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 on Startforth, especially on the historic County Bridge. The 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 paramount to have a safe A66 dulling, it is also paramount to have a safe environment for all road users and pedestrians in Startforth. Public Safety must come first.
