  Paul Emmerson from the Police Traffic Division attended the meeting to discuss the findings from the various enforcement actions which the Police had conducted along Rosemount Road.  Figures showed that most vehicles are speeding on the way up to Shildon.  There will now be discussions with the Council to agree what measures should be taken to alleviate the problems.

  The Council are dealing with the flytipping issue and every attempt will be made to identify those leaving the rubbish.
