I believe you need to find another route, than directingdual carridgeway traffic down the Sills road in barnard castle. The sills is a very minor road with already unsafe pedestrian access. further more you would add as addmitted in the evidence, 534% more traffic, of which a considerable number will be heavy goods vehicles, a right turn onto the county bridge for such is immposible with risking the lives of all pedestrians and the enhabitants of the white-sawn flats. further more the market cross already sees a vast amount of damage each year from such traffic. by going ahead with the plan as it is, respsonbility for pedestrian life endangerment and grade 2 listed buildings and property would have to be taken into account and safety needed.
