Clacking grate, 13th March

Wed, 13 Mar 2024 22:08:19 +0000
55.006888 -1.606092

There is a loose grate cover on Station Road, right outside my home. It clacks and clanks every time a car passes down the hill. I have been in contact with Northumbria Water for three months about this. They came and “fixed“ it on Friday (8th March) complete with traffic controls, but the “repair” managed to make it even louder. It is starting to affect my health. (Weirdly, some council workers came and stuck some tarmac round it the day before the water guys came, 7th March, but that didn’t improve things either)

Has been an issue for months. Blind client has cut hands and face on very spiky dog rose/hawthorn bushes that are blocking the footpath. It is not an option to use the kerb to follow as the outer path is the cycle lane. Please can these be cut back and monitored to avoid further injury. Many thanks.

This roundabout is far too busy to not have a traffic light system in place! The amount of accidents and risky driving is disappointing.

Congestion, 28th March

Tue, 28 Mar 2023 09:09:03 +0100
55.012262 -1.583567

Hi The congestion build up at this junction, from Chester Ave leading onto West Farm Ave has become unbearable during the morning rush hour traffic. This junction is used by all residents from this side of longbenton, as well as those using Leigh's Nursery and Balliol Primary School. During a morning to exit this junction we rely soley on the good will of the drivers waiting in queue to exit west farm avenue. Even then, we are also at the mercy of oncoming traffic, so we have to cross over a road to enter traffic and this is where it becomes problematic. We are now at the mercy of two roads and their drivers to allow us out of the junction This past week it has taken between 20-30 minutes sitting waiting patiently for both roads to allow a vehicle out. Buses and lorries use West Farm Ave and rarely allow a vehichle to exit the junction. This has been a long standing issue which has become more dangerous as people lose patience. Could there be some temporary lights fitted to be used during rush hour

Haddricks Mill Road traffic congestion, 15th March

Tue, 15 Mar 2022 21:33:58 +0000
55.002316 -1.60523

At busy times, (early morning and from around 3pm onwards), traffic is queued from the roundabouts at the end of Haddricks Mill Road to the traffic lights junction at Moorfield/Jesmond Dene Road. The problem has been significantly worse since the closure of Castles Farm Road bridge, which now forces thousands of cars to detour via the roundabouts. The congestion is accompanied by increased pollution levels from stop/start traffic and vibrations from buses and HGV's. A disastrous planning decision.

Restricted road width due to non-residents parking on both sides of road., 15th March

Tue, 15 Mar 2022 18:48:55 +0000
55.001442 -1.606947

Cars parked on both sides of the road severely restrict the road width making it difficult for vehicles to drive through. This is primarily caused by non-residents using the road as a car park (often to then walk to Freeman Hospital).
