Darlington Borough Council take great pride in its floral displays, and the support of sponsors has helped us to set award-winning standards of floral excellence in and around the town.  Darlington won the ‘Northumbria in Bloom Best Small City’ award in 2005, and a Silver Gilt Award in 2006 and 2007.

Our 21 roundabouts are situated on both the town centre inner ring-road, and on the outer ring-road.  Darlington’s position in the Tees Valley means that we receive a huge amount of passing traffic between the A1, Teesside and North Yorkshire.

By sponsoring a roundabout, you will be demonstrating your commitment to improving the town, whilst also raising your company’s profile.

Listed below are those roundabouts currently available for sponsorship.  For further information please contact the Sponsorship Manager on (01325) 348885 or e-mail sponsorship.manager@darlington.gov.uk.

• To the South East of the town, the landscaped roundabout coming off the A66 at the junction of Whinfield Road and Stockton Road (Haughton Area) is an extremely busy junction from Middlesbrough and Stockton, through Darlington, to the A1. 

• The smaller, cultivated Neasham Road/Geneva Road roundabout serves as a busy junction South of the town, in a mostly residential area leading in from the A66 Hurworth and Neasham roundabout.  Following the build of the new football stadium, the traffic flow has increased significantly.  Approximately 12,000 cars pass daily and the route is also used extensively by pedestrian traffic, particularly on home match days.

• A number of extremely busy town centre ring road roundabouts are now available.  The planted St Cuthbert’s Way/Parkgate junction - a main route into the town from Yarm Road and the railway station - with an estimated traffic flow in excess of 80,000 cars a day. 

• Two major roundabouts, at either end of the town centre on the ring road, have just become available; Victoria Road/St. Cuthbert’s Way (the Barker & Stonehouse junction), and North Road/St. Cuthbert’s Way (Marks & Spencer junction). 

• Outside the town, on the A67 between Middleton St George, Yarm, the Middleton St George/Sadberge roundabout benefits from traffic passing on the way to the Durham Tees Valley Airport, with an anticipated annual footfall to the airport of 1,000,000. 

• In the rapidly developing North West area of the town, there are roundabouts on the Faverdale residential site between Rotary way and Centurion Way, and on Alverton Drive.
