Yes, open 24 hours. You can ring trading standards on 0191 383 3589 if you want to check when their officers are next in attendance.

I haven't read all the replies to your thread but, your local council should be able to provide you with a list of public weighbridges in your area.

Your local VOSA heavy goods vehicle testing station will have weigh plates there & may weigh your outfit if you give them a call & ask.

Commercial vehicle main dealerships have (are supposed) to weigh new lorries for taxation so a call to one of them should ome up with a weighbridge.

Failing that, if you have a quarry or gravel pit close by they'll all have a weighbridge & you should be able to weigh there. A lot of large arable farms have weighbridges as well so you'll find one somewhere.

I know this topic is 'weigh' (sorry) out of date now but this page came up on page one of the google search I just did for 'public weighbridges durham'. Shows how excellent the SEO is on this forum!

Anyway - page one also found a full list of weighbridges in the county so I'm guessing that many other councils now do the same.

For reference -

http://www.durham.gov.uk/article/6697/Where-is-your-local-weighbridge

The weighbridge referred to above at Castle Eden isnt actually a council one, it is a VOSA weighpoint.

Apparently you can find your nearest VOSA weighpoint here:

Be very carefull going to a VOSA weigh bridge.
If you are over weight, you WILL not be leaving the site, unless you get the unit to the correct weight.

And if you get a jobs worth they will give you a ticket for over weight.
And i am not joking you
