Over 300 residents of Rowlands Gill, Gateshead, have signed a petition calling for improvements to the junction of Burnopfield Road and Station Road.
Petition co-ordinator Councillor Jonathan Wallace collected over 100 signatures over the weekend alone.
“The junction has seen a number of accidents and residents are hoping that improvements will be made to ensure it is safer in the future,” said Jonathan.
Meanwhile, Labour councillors in Rowlands Gill have launched an attack on Councillor Wallace for carrying out the petition. Maureen Chaplin even confronted him at the start of a recent Council meeting to demand that Labour be “consulted” on future Lib Dem campaigning in the ward!
The petition will be submitted to the Council in the near future.
