Call to end Milton Road Mess

LIBERAL Democrat councillors in Whickham North ward in Gateshead are pressing officials of Gateshead Housing Company to clean up Milton Road where work on renovating houses has wrecked grass verges.

The road runs between Whickham and Swalwell. The grass has been churned up by contractors’ vehicles and in some places is now nearly knee deep in mud.

“This is quite a mess for residents and we are pressing for action to clean up the mud and, once the equipment has been removed, to have the grass verges restored,” said Councillor Peter Craig.
