Staindrop Parish Council reiterates its disappointment that at consultation events, and in consultation materials, no information is provided, or could be provided on request, detailing any modelling about the impact of the proposed changes on the A688 and Staindrop village; because of this lack of information, the Parish Council is unable to offer a view. The lack of modelling of traffic flow and volumes in the wider area is a flaw and should be addressed. Any signage associated with the dualling upgrade should clearly indicate the use of the A66 as the preferred route for Goods Vehicles (eg. by the use of black background signage). The Parish Council also comments that the 'charge of £10,344' for paper copies of the application documents is by no means 'reasonable'.
