New Zebra at last

The new zebra crossing on Darlington Back Lane has been installed at last, and local Councillors Suzanne Fletcher and Julia Roberts are delighted. The possibility of it going ahead was in the balance in May this year as there was not enough funding for all of the road safety schemes planned. Julia Roberts suggested that if we put £5,400 of the ward Environmental improvement budget into the project, and a neighbouring ward did too, then it would be possible. Julia said

"it just goes to show how working together can make the difference for the good of the local community".

Suzanne Fletcher added

" Environmental Improvement budgets for each ward were a proposal of the Liberal Democrats on Stockton Council and even though each ward's budget is quite small, £13,900 for Bishopsgarth and Elm Tree, it is good to see what can be done".
