A shop owner has slammed his local council after they planted a tree outside his shop which he claims will block his business.
Grant Tully runs Tully's in Sunderland but fears the new greenery will stop people from entering his shop as they grow and block the view to his business entrance.
The trees have been put in as part of a "bus rationalisation project" aiming to make the city centre more bus-friendly, but Mr Tully is asking Sunderland City Council to rethink.
