Families living in a brand new estate in Cramlington have been left without a safe footpath into the town- with no signs of the issue being resolved in the short-term.
Homeowners on the Fairways and Arcot Manor estates, which are being built by a partnership of Bellway Homes and Persimmon, say the only access onto their estate is via Fisher Lane.
It means everyone - including older people and schoolchildren - is expected to cross a busy 50mph road to access the bus stop.
