Rejected petition Investigate Highways England, Bus Gate scheme at Moor Farm (A19), Cramlington.

Tacked onto a housing development 4.5 miles away in Newsham, Blyth. Highways England would only remove their objections to the project if the "Bus Gate" scheme at Moor Farm roundabout on the A19 was funded as part of this development. No local consultation took place, not even with local council.

PROPOSED SCHEME BUS ONLY A1171 ARM

Moor Farm Roundabout to B1505 and A1171 Cramlington

This development will cause mayhem within the local community, forcing residence to find alternative roots and causing traffic jams in other areas, one of them round the newly built A&E hospital in East Cramlington.
