Worried neighbours living next to a Bedlington playing field have called for action with some saying they are scared to leave their homes after a child and a vehicle collided.
The problem has been blamed on the large volume of cars parking on and around the field to access various facilities - something that has been an issue for some time.
At a meeting of the Cramlington, Bedlington and Seaton Valley Local Area Council, one driver was blasted for driving onto the field - which is bordered by Waverley Avenue, Waverley Drive and Bolam Place - and churning up the grass to such an extent that it was rendered unusable by youngsters.
