Gateshead needs to invest in road signs, outside the town (is it still a metropolitan Borough) centre so drivers from elsewhere don't end up doing ridiculous loops to avoid getting snarled up in the bus lanes.
More chance of them not pissing money up the walls on pointless schemes than them investing in something useful.
A lot of signage in and around the town centre is illegal and non-prescribed. Plenty of unenforceable bus lanes or road closures because of it, but obviously they make sure they do it by the book when there's a camera watching over it...
There's an apparent anti-car agenda from the council which is doing nothing but damaging the borough. The public transport network has failed, they continuously close major car parks popular with visitors, introduce charges/permits to others...and then the absurd changes to the already at capacity road network.
