Tarmac patchwork is to be repaired on the historic cobbles near Staindrop s village green
AGREEMENT has been reached between Staindrop parish councillors and county officers to make good a patch of cobbles that may be the last remnant of a 14th century market.
Upset was caused when workers used Tarmac to repair a pothole that had developed on the edge of the cobbles across the village green late last year.
County council head of highways Brian Buckley and conservation officer Bryan Harris joined in the parish council’s online meeting in January to resolve the issue.
Mr Buckley explained the patch work was done in response to a public complaint that the pothole presented a tripping hazard.
