(19 Jan 2014, 5:38 pm)Adam Malarkey wrote I don't think Lord Lawson School would have any affect on a New Depot on Birtley Lane as the School is situated 2 Minutes away from Birtley High Street in the Centre of Birtley, As for Eddie Stobart if all they were going use the site for was for layovers, then I can see why it got knocked back, when you have Washington Services just across the other side of the A1. I can't really see a Problem in GNE using this Plot of Land for a Potential Depot.
Yes but your not having potentially around a hundred vehicles using Birtley Lane daily which is the issue. Gateshead as a Council have a fairly aggressive policy when it comes to road safety and schools. You can't even look in the direction of a school without them shooting at you
Portmeads Road isn't really suitable either for the increase in traffic, the X25 struggles with the parked cars
