Their has been a lot of complaints from businesses stretching back to March 2020 when bollards were but in place for social distancing due to Covid-19 has led to issues with deliveries to the likes of Savers, Co-Op and Herons where trucks have parked on the bus lane across the road or the parked in the road heading towards the Angel which has severly affected traffic flow in the area.

This has to be a joke? I'm used to these stupid changes like this is next level there's no alternative route bar driving through residential areas. Gateshead, Newcastle and North Tyneside councils need shot as they're absolutely clueless. It's like their actively trying to cause congestion everywhere. Gateshead in particular.

Least it makes a change to having a war with the barriers along Coatsworth with the Jews which mysteriously move every day. The pathetic thing is the same changes also affect buses so there's literally no win for anyone bar a few bikes (who don't exist).
