Since being elected, Richard has constantly pushed Durham County Council for a crossing in Dipton. So, it was great to see the newly installed puffin crossing finally installed and in action!
This has been an issue for locals for decades, with very little being done. After Richard worked closely with the RNIB as well as holding a public meeting for residents residents and working with the local school to voice their perspective directly with DCC it's great to see it up and running.
Commenting, Richard Holden MP said:
The crossing is essential for people in Dipton to access crucial services, go to work and go to school easily and safely. I am delighted that it has been installed and look forward to using it myself as well as seeing make a real difference in Dipton and the surrounding area.
