In reply to SFalconer. We have spoken to Highways England about their plans to add a lane to the A1 north of the Tyne, in effect a bypass for Newcastle. They told us that doing so would make practically no difference at all to traffic levels in Gosforth, and actually I suspect they are being optimistic as it could lead to more people driving overall. If your objective is to reduce pollution then the £150m+ planned for the bypass could be spent much more effectively and would be more than sufficient to cover the many more effective measures that we have proposed.

I witnessed a strange sight today – cyclists actually using a cycle path – the car is here to stay so for the majority the roads should be for motorists – the council is bothered about air pollution – they have given planning for 8000 houses north of Gosforth- so the traffic and pollution is going to increase
Your campaign should be for better roads and bypasses to these highly polluted areas

We generally have to accept that Newcastle council has proved it will not priorities anything other than car and has no either inclination nor desire nor intelligence outside of its traditional none working box’s…. therefore maybe more direct legal challenges may should be looked into . Court action and incompetence in public office endangering public life etc
