Project Pipeline: County Durham and Tees Valley

Good afternoon

In a previous update, I explained that we 've been putting up fences along the entire length of the pipeline route.  If you’re familiar with this part of the county, you’ll be aware that our route crosses a number of public rights of way and is very popular with walkers and their dogs.

We’re taking care to ensure that all public rights of way in the West Durham area continue to remain open and accessible for walkers. We’re constructing stiles at the points where our fencing cuts across these footpaths. We’re also incorporating a number of dog crossing points along the route, because we appreciate the difficulty people might face when trying to lift a large dog across a stile.

I hope you and your four-legged friends continue to enjoy your walks.

Many thanks,
