The following problems have been reported on Fix My Street within 2 miles of DH8 0JL:
Numerous potholes the entire length of the road, from the River Derwent at Shotley Bridge right up to the junction with A68 at Carterway Heads. Very dangerous road surface condition on a narrow road which is heavily used by people from the Shotley Bridge and surrounding area to get to Hexham and beyond., 16th April
Potholes, patching work that is washed out almost immediately. Rough, bumpy surface which is dangerous when used at high speed, and because it is a long and quite straight road at the A68 end, people do often drive very fast.

Street Light is Out and is Identified as Northumberland County Council by Post Code!, 15th February
I have tried to report the street light at DH8 9TE on three separate occasions, where you have just updated me with this: ‘ New updates on Intermittent Problem with Light on Street / Road Lamp-post at DH8 9TE Thank you for your report. I have checked your photos and identified the lamp on Google maps. However, this lamp is not showing on our database as one we maintain and is most likely part of Durham County Council's inventory. This report has now been closed. Thank You’ I have subsequently been on the ‘Gov.co.uk’ website to try and report this again, however it has identified this Post Code as being the responsibility of Northumberland County Council. I am therefore unable to report it to Durham County Council, and as it is on the Northumberland side of the border I doubt whether they would accept responsibility. I would therefore respectfully suggest that perhaps your records need to be updated to include this lamppost, however if you do disagree that this is not your responsibility, then could I please request that you notify Durham County Council as I am clearly unable to do this as I have explained. Many thanks.

Intermittent Problem with Light on Street / Road Lamp-post at DH8 9TE, 14th February
I have reported this problem on two previous occasions and was first advised that it had been repaired, and then that you found no fault - so not sure if it is an intermittent fault. I have provided two photographs which will hopefully assist with identifying it properly, you will note that one photo shows the street light off, and the other as it came back on very briefly (it is currently still off). It is situated just over Shotley Bridge (bridge over the River Derwent), and on the Northumberland side, where it is literally just over the bridge, outside Derwent Dene Lodge (DH8 9TE) and near to the entrance of the Bridge Island housing estate - but it is not the ones on the estate. It actually lights-up that section of road next to the bridge, as well as the pedestrian footpath area too. Obviously at this time of year it makes this safer for motorists, pedestrians, and potentially reduces incidents of criminality too. I would greatly appreciate it if you could please check this out again, and hopefully identify the correct one from the photos and Postcode. Many thanks.

Multiple potholes, 5th February
Multiple potholes throughout burnmill Road, all the way from shotley bridge to A68. The road has been in very poor conditions for several years and is now in desperate needs of repair and resurfacing as just filling in the potholes doesn't work....they just reoccur, along with many new ones.

Street / Road Lamp Not Illuminating, 4th February
I had reported this problem last week and was advised that it had been repaired, so not sure if the light-bulb in this lamppost has gone out again, or the wrong one has been replaced in error. I have provided a photograph which will hopefully assist with identifying it properly. It is situated just over Shotley Bridge (bridge over the River Derwent), and on the Northumberland side, where it is literally just over the bridge, outside Derwent Dene Lodge and near to the entrance of the Bridge Island housing estate, where it lights-up that section of road next to the bridge, as well as the pedestrian footpath area too. Obviously at this time of year it makes this safer for motorists, pedestrians, and potentially reduces incidents of criminality too. Many thanks.

A Flooding problem has been found, 30th January
Caller states when the potholes have been filled in the street, where the water runs away along in the channel at the side of the road has also been filled which means the water cant drain away and now just sits on the road.

2 x Street / Road Lights not illuminating, 29th January
There are two street/ road lights that are currently not illuminating, and have not done-so for a number of months now. They are located just over ‘Shotley Bridge’ (the actual bridge over the River Derwent), and are on the Northumberland side of the border - and on the Burnmill Bank road. They are pretty-much situated directly outside of the entrance to the Bridge Island housing estate. This makes this stretch of pedestrian crossing over the bridge very dark, which is of concern particularly during the dark winter months, and especially as the bridge is used by both pedestrians and vehicles.
