A county councillor has called on developers to provide a connection between a town and a new housing estate by foot to stop pedestrians being forced to take an unsafe route along a busy main road.
Persimmon are currently building the Fairways Estate near Cramlington, with several other housing developers also working on nearby estates that will significantly increase the size of the town.
However, homeowners who have moved into the Fairways currently have no safe access to the town - rather than being able to walk into Cramlington to the east, pedestrians must first go up Fisher Lane before taking Station Road into the town.
