Neighbours at a new housing estate say they have been cut off from the rest of the community as they have no safe way of crossing the road.
Homeowners on the Fairways development in Cramlington, which is being built by a partnership of Bellway Homes and Persimmon, say the only access onto their estate is via Fisher Lane, where everyone - including older people and schoolchildren - is expected to cross a busy 50mph road to access the bus stop.
There are also no pedestrian or bike access to local services except a stretch of road they must walk along for a third of a mile without any footpath, as cars speed by. They then have to cross the A1068 to reach the footpath and cycle network at Northumberlandia, where the speed limit is 70mph.
