The Covid pandemic has changed how the council and Area Action Partnerships (AAPs) have had to work as many communities and local residents have struggled because of the restrictions that we have all had to follow.

Thousands of people have stepped forward and have taken action to ensure The AAP Area the most isolated and vulnerable have been looked after.

Turnpike Trusts then took over the construction and maintenance of major roads, until the creation of Highway Boards in 1878 (and then County Councils in 1889). Listed below are the trusts which existed in County Durham (and in that part of the North Riding of Yorkshire which became part of Durham in 1974). The limits within which they operated are given (together with approximate current road numbers), as are the dates of the Acts of Parliament which authorised their operations. A brief indication is given of relevant records held in the Durham County Record Office. The Record Office also holds a set of local Acts of Parliament (into which category most Turnpike Acts fell) from 1798, and these may be consulted in the Search Room.
