As a resident with a front door onto Christon Road, I strongly support these plans and suggested measures.

Not only will this be beneficial to those attending the two schools on Christon Road (Archbishop Runcie and Gosforth Central Middle school) but also the older residents of Homeforth as they look to access the facilities highlighted in the plan.

Further recommendations would be to reduce the radii of almost all of the corners as they encourage vehicles exiting and entering the Great North Road to carry speed. Reducing the radii and including build-outs or neck-downs would also reduce crossing distances for those on the paths.

What a great idea – a good plan which not only benefits cyclists, but school children, local residents and those working in the offices nearby – improving our environment.

These plans are great to see, my daughter goes to st Charles primary school and the traffic is becoming more and more of a problem in the mornings with the offices in that area. The biggest issue is speeding, with so many young children near by it’s disgusting to see how many people speed along regent farm road. I am terrified when crossing the road at the school and personally I would like to see a new crossing at the school gates. The offices have a crossing so why on earth is there not one at the school. We have to wait for the cars to stop and then risk crossing the road with our children.
I would love to see the cycling provisions put in place as I regularly cycle to work and back to collect my daughter and it will be nice to get a safe cycle route for the children.
