Dear Editor,
It was great to represent Chilton and the county as a Durham County Councillor at the North East Combined Authority Scrutiny meeting yesterday.
With the Mayor present, I had the opportunity to ask questions on issues that matter to local residents, including what more is being done to keep people safe across County Durham and how we can improve our transport links.
I also raised the need for better bus services, particularly the long-standing issue of getting a direct bus from Chilton to Bishop Auckland. I’m pleased that a public survey will be made available online, giving residents the opportunity to have their say and help shape the future of transport across our area.
Listening to local people and ensuring your voices are heard will always be one of my priorities.
Yours sincerely,
Stephen Bowron, by email
