Since the 24th of July South Tyneside council have changed the layout and traffic flow on Edinburgh Road with a camera enforced BUS GATE.

Speaking with Mr Pendelton (Manager of Traffic Management ) he stated it was to improve road safety but i cannot see how when i have seen numerous cars stopping and doing a 3 point turn in the road with oncoming traffic heading towards them from the A194.

If you feel you need to contact Mr Pendelton he can be contacted at South Tyneside  council  parkingteam@southtyneside.gov.uk 0191 4271717 and trafficandroadsafety@southtyneside.gov.uk

This Junction has been used by residents for years and now has become a Cash Cow for South Tyneside  Council using this road in a money making entrapment exercise
