A concerned neighbour fears construction work traffic at Whitley Bay High School is putting children at risk.
Graham Witherell, 70, who lives at Deneholm, is worried there could be a collision involving a child and the multi-tonne lorries needed for the work at the school to construct more modern buildings.
The current school will be partly demolished with the new buildings providing facilities such as a sports hall and sixth form lecture theatre, which should be ready for autumn 2023.
