BATTLES over land use have hit a major charity donor in Durham city, a public inquiry has heard. The Durham City Freemen give hundreds of pounds to a range of good causes every year, with cash raised from its historic interests in the city. But bosses at the organisation, which is attempting to halt Durham County Council’s (DCC) plans for a car park on protected land at the Sands to serve its new £50 million HQ, claim disputes with the local authority have hampered its philanthropic efforts. “The land for the car park is a modest area of the wider Sands, the Freemen have common rites of grazing going back for centuries, and they have been recorded since at least 1860,” said Nicola Allen, a planning law specialist acting for the City of Durham Parish Council and the Freemen.
A CAMPAIGN to reopen of an historic Durham railway viaduct as a bridleway and cycleway is gathering pace. The Friends of Kepier Woods group is calling for the Grade II Listed Belmont Viaduct, also known as Frankland or Brasside Viaduct, to be brought back into use as an “exciting tourist and leisure project”. The Friends chairman and Belmont parish councillor, Michael Watson, said: “We all hope that Durham County Council listens to the huge public clamour for this new route to be made available as soon as possible. “The project sits well with current Government and county council policies to create new footpaths and cycle ways with funding available and environmental plans for a reduction in carbon emissions.
