Newcastle Airport delays?

Newcastle Airport has usually cut its hedges on Prestwick road by this time of year.

Predestrians are finding it difficult to use the foopath to Prestwick Road Ends and beyond because they remain uncut.

All the other roadside hedges have been cut by landowners but the uncut ones pose a danger and potentially could "snag" a coat, skirt or trousers

Rent Dobbies Roundabout for £8,000 a year?

Northumberland County Council are proposing to erect advertising boards on many highway roundabouts and sell the space.


But what price a life, a broken leg or broken arm? There have been a least 3 fatal accidents  at Dobbies roundabout.

Should drivers not be concentrating on driving rather than reading notices? Are there not enough illegal notices at this location already?
