An Aycliffe worker was cycling home from work on the Business Park and, because of the overgrowing trees and bushes along the A167 was forced to either go onto the main road or try and duck under the overhanging branches.
He chose the latter and was nearly forced off his bike into the main road as one of the branches caught his backpack and nearly pulled him off!
Who is responsible for these trees and can they be cut back to allow cyclists and pedestrians safer access?
