The countryside officer tells us that the county council 'accepts the existence of a public footpath on
the claimed route'. (137)
2005 - October 24
Objections to the proposal to divert the footpath were received from residents, the community association
and the parish council but the highway committee resolved:
'That a diversion order be made under the terms of Section 257 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.'
(243-4)
'The council solicitor said the proposed diversion would now be advertised in the local press. If any objection
resulted from that, a public inquiry would follow'. (56) Darlington & Stockton
