This road has always been dangerous. Even back when I was a kid in the sixties, I remember seeing a couple of accidents while just passing. The traffic was no where like it is today. The traffic needs to slow down. On this road

very dsngerous road for all residents of this area me and my daughter have almost been ran over on this road due to not being to see passed parked cars aswell as a blind bend just passed junction on zion terrace to wylam view

as a resident on monarch terrace, blaydon bank speed bumps or a camera needs put in place. the rear streets such as mary street have traffic control measures yet we have our front door on a main road where people do excess speeds.

John was an old skool friend and a geniune person who was really easy to get on with. its such a tragic to loose a geniune guy to road accidents and to prevent this happening again we need attention towards this road.

I live around the corner from here, and agree changes should be made safety wise, especially arround the cross-road. Having 2 young children, i hate having to cross here. The cars fly up that hill and its only a matter of time before it happens again

I live opposite Zion Terrace and I have 3 children. My eldest daughter was involved in a hit and run two years ago just a little further down from where John was killed, they never caught who hit her. Something needs to be done.

I was the driver who knocked over the young lad nearby in October 2014. It was sheer luck that I managed to swerve to avoid a tragedy. I wasn't speeding. I live on Blaydon bank and have applied to have my long garden and my neighbours made into in shared driveway because I truly believe that taking the cars off the road and putting in speed deterring measures is the only way forward. The council are dragging their heels and the housing association are insisting on me funding it myself, even though I've lost my job through my own disability. If this were a more affluent area these ,easures would have been taken by now.

The vans coming up from Blaydon while I am driving down are a nightmare. They see I am travelling down after waiting for a break in the traffic and they make a beeline for me and refuse to move. Tonight I had someone behind me and therefore I couldn't move. I got out of my car because O thought I was having an attack. He could easily have waited for 10 seconds while I reached the bottom. He created road rage. And he didn't bat an eyelid.
