Welcome for Whickham bollards


DANGEROUS parking outside Rose Villa, in the heart of Whickham’s historic village in Gateshead should be greatly reduced following the installation of traffic bollards.

The bollards were installed after residents worried about road safety in the area contacted their local Liberal Democrat Councillors who took the matter up with Council highway engineers.

“The bollards will mean drivers are not parking dangerously on the pavement,” said Councillor Yvonne McNicol. “There is a free car park less than a minute’s walk from Rose Villa and we ask motorists to park there instead.”
