The path across the bridge is quite narrow and there are many bikes that don't slow down for pedestrians. Is there some sort of calming measure that could be put in place to slow the bikes and scooters down, maybe rumble strips at … [more]
This section is a dirt track which is frequently muddy and full of large puddles. It also has no lighting at all, making it undesirable to use when dark. Repairing the holes & ruts in the path and resurfacing are a must. Adding lighting … [more]

For people that want to get from Keelmans Way up to street level, to visit local shops such as Pumphreys Coffee, this path is the most direct way. However it’s very uneven, narrow and overgrown. If it were cleaned up it would also allow … [more]
Illegal use of motorbikes is a nuisance along the entire river. Perhaps installing "squeeze gate" stiles like on the Tanfield Railway path would allow all cyclists, wheelchair users, etc. to still use the path but prevent rowdy youths … [more]
The stiles used on this path means it is not suitable for cycling as its the "step over" kind. Perhaps the "squeeze" type stiles used on the Tanfield Railway Path would encourage more cycling.
The path from Stella into Blaydon is relatively narrow, unlit and doesn't feel safe for vulnerable people to walk to the train station. I appreciate the fences either side are there for a reason, but the tarmac surface doesn't even stretch … [more]
Parking needs to be enforced here. cars are parking across the whole pavement on a very dangerous corner.
This is the main walking route to Baltic Quays, Newcastle, Gateshead etc. from St James village and the metro station, but there's no dedicated pedestrian crossing here, you have to chance it when the lights change. Extremely dangerous at … [more]
A cycle lane through Low Fell much needed. One separated from traffic so accessible for children. Lots of parking on both sides of street - could be repurposed?
Very narrow foot path for so many pedestrians. Would be good to widen footpaths and prioritise children getting to school safely.
Why can you make this a pedestrian and cycle path it would be ideal for people going to the park and pupils going to the local school
Pedestrian and cycle path from Gateshead to Kells Lane then directed on to main road which has not got a cycle lane and is very narrow with parked cars - please put a way for cyclists to carry on cycling on the path through the shopping … [more]
To many parked cars make it cycle and pedestrians path way from Gateshead Town Centre to Birtley that world be safer until we can have cycle lane only paths
Make it easier for cyclists to pass through Rowlands Gill village and access Derwent Walk. The main road is currently too busy, narrow and dangerous. Perhaps a cycle contraflow along Stirling Lane or Middleton Avenue, or another light- … [more]
Pavement through Rowlands Gill village centre is too narrow and can be intimidating, especially with the high volume of HGV traffic.
Install a dedicated cycle track to reduce competition between cyclists and pedestrians on shared path.
Amend junction of Glossop Street and B6315 to improve safety for cyclists and pedestrians. Poor visibility makes cyclists harder to be seen, and there have been a number of crashes and near misses. Footpath far too narrow, especially with … [more]
Traffic calming measures to reduce the danger posed by speeding vehicles along Strothers Road. This will create a safer environment for children to play.

Expand and improve public right of way network to create a traffic-free route from Chopwell Woods to the rest of High Spen
Install a cycleway between Rowlands Gill and High Spen along B6315 to improve cycle safety and encourage more local people to travel by bike.
A segregated cycleway, alongside a new pathway, would make it possible to travel between High Spen and Winlaton on foot or by bike.
Junction narrowing needed to reduce crossing distance and continuous/ blended crossing needed (good examples in Crawcrook and Prudhoe)
Junction narrowing needed to reduce crossing distance outside the school and continuous/ blended crossing needed (good examples in Crawcrook and Prudhoe)
Junction narrowing needed to reduce crossing distance and continuous/ blended crossing needed (good examples in Crawcrook and Prudhoe)
Another really hazardous junction to cross - suggest banning left turning traffic coming from Main Rd westbound and banning right turns from Hexham Old Rd to enable crossing improvements - continuous footway?
Crossing improvement needed over Woodside Ln. There are lots of traffic movements around this central space which need rationalising (see comment above regarding Lane Head and Hexham Old Rd). This junction head needs to be narrowed … [more]
This is a really hazardous crossing point, with vehicles able to take this junction at speed. No reason to have left and right turn lanes on the other arm of the junction, so I suggest this side is stopped up to create a continuous footway … [more]
Rat-running traffic causes issues on this street and the junction is dangerous for people on foot, particularly those walking to the nursery and schoolchildren. Preventing traffic accessing from the southern end would enable junction … [more]
Access restrictions to reduce speeds and volumes of cars on Barmoor Lane and to enable pavement widening.
Narrow pavements and excessive vehicle speeds make this popular route really uncomfortable to walk along. Suggest it is reduced to single-carriageway with access only/ one-way?
High volume of traffic, well above current guidance (LTN 1/20) for cycling and excessive emissions at this point outside the school. Walking and cycling infrastrucutre improvements needed, as well as measures to reduce volumes of vehicles … [more]
High volume of traffic, well above current guidance (LTN 1/20) for cycling. Walking and cycling infrastrucutre improvements needed, as well as measures to reduce volumes of vehicles using Main Rd- maximise use of bypass.

New road improvement at roundabout has no consideration for cyclists or pedestrians and has increased danger for cyclists in this area
Throughout unmaintained paths and resting areas. Feels unsafe. Rubbish everywhere. The railing to protect from felling into the river is nonexistent. Would be nice to have a river crossing to avoid the busy city centre.
Gates at each sides of the cycle paths are a nightmare!!! Cut them ALL DOWN ASAP!!! How many scratches, bumps and swearing do you want you cyclists to be doing? Please Please Please
Bike track is rutted, rocky, great fun, very overgrown, underpasses are pitch black. covered in glass. Ok for me on my chunky bike but not suitable for many cyclists
Bike track - entrance from Lobley Hill side is very hard to see, dark, overgrown, path muddied, slippy, dangerous into subway. Have fallen off here
Visibility out of Nursery Lane is very poor for all types of traffic, and cars come around the corner of Carr Hill Road too fast - maybe the 20mph past the school should be extended?
If no changes can be made to the roundabout as already suggested - there needs to be space to slow down and make a left-then-right turn on to Camilla St and up on to the raised walk way without risk to yourself (from buses behind you), … [more]
Constantly parked cars making the road very narrow, and on an especially steep part of the hill, making cycling particularly dangerous
Pavement is wide enough however people always park their cars on it, despite the No Parking signs on the wall, meaning pedestrians have to walk along the road. Oddly, bollards have been added to pavements in other (much quieter) areas of … [more]
New housing has been built over a number of paths which have been in use for decades. This type of piecemeal nibbling away at footpaths is a significant deterrent to walking as it makes journeys on foot longer and more convoluted.
There appears to be building work which has blocked a path which has been used by people on foot for several decades. This type of piecemeal nibbling away at footpaths is a significant deterrent to walking as it makes journeys on foot … [more]
No cycle lane, too many parked cars in Low Fell - maybe needs people and cycle path from Gateshead to the Angel
This section of Bottle Bank is poorly paid out from both a cyclist and a driver's perspective. There's a pedestrian refuge just before Curzon Place (Hilton), and it's unclear which lane the cars should be in. Could one of the lanes going … [more]
This 'temporary' junction is a bit of a 'dogs dinner' with the temporary barriers and traffic lights for cyclists not being clear what they are/are not getting the green light for. The traffic lights are not necessary for most cyclists … [more]
For cyclists going north to Gateshead there is a good choice of shared use or bus lane to use. However on the cycle journey back from Gateshead, traveling southbound, it is unclear when are you expected to cross to the bus lane on the … [more]
Poor quality of street lighting at the top of Lynnholme Gardens makes this a very dark section for pedestrians and cyclists during winter. Additional lamp column required to light the top section.
To reiterate other comments in the area, the entire section of National cycle route 14 between Staithes Rd and the Intu Metro Centre needs to be fully re-designed/re-considered. It is a barrier to encourage people to that shopping/leisure … [more]
Cars fly down Blaydon Bank. Path should be wider to accommodate a cycle lane, parking restricted and speed limit reduced to 20
The last 3 times I have cycled up this road overtaking cars have entered the contraflow cycle lane, which creates a real danger of a head on collision. Suggest put additional signage to warn cars of the bike lane, or widen the bike lane and … [more]
PATH IS APPROX 1 METRE WIDE AND PEDESTRIANS PASS WITHIN 30CM OF EACH OTHER FACE TO FACE AS ONLY ONE SIDE OF BRIDGE PEDESTRIANISED. IN COVID 19 UNACCEPTABLE RISK. ALSO UNSAFE DUE TO PROXIMITY OF PEDESTRIANS. BUSY ROAD WITH LIMITED VIEW OF … [more]
Stop parking on pavements as this is narrowing pavements and causing vulnerable pedestrians having to share narrow road space with fast moving vehicles irrespective of ineffective speed humps!!
Avenue Road NE8 4JH is a busy avenue on route to Saltwell Park, the Leisure Centre, Library and soon to be Shipcote School, vehicles constantly park on the pavements restricting pedestrians access and making them use the road to make … [more]
More signs are needed to encourage dog walkers to 'scoop the poop' of their dogs into a dog waste bag, or use "stick to flick" to get rid of dog faeces into the undergrowth either side of paths like Woodhouses Lane. I've put the marker near … [more]
There is a very slippy slope down from Parkway (road) to Woodhouses Lane, the path that was resurfaced with grit in late 2019 – early 2020. People are attempting to clamber down the muddy slope, especially for exercise during lockdown. … [more]
If you come down the path (nicely paved) from the Poachers Pocket on Market Lane and go under the A1, you’re faced with a choice of two routes, the most useful of which is in poor condition. The rightmost is more useful as it goes towards … [more]
There is a need for a cycle path and pedestrian route along the south side of MetroCentre, parallel to St Michaels Way. It would run from the A1 junction Hollinside Road (and possibly also Marconi Way) to the path that goes under the A1 in … [more]
The bus stops on Consett Road are in the wrong place. They needs to be east of the Alwinton Gardens junction in both directions, nearer a larger number of residents and to Emmanuel School, and where there’s plenty of land to accommodate … [more]
A considerable amount of residents in the residential area walk and bike, should consider createing this area from Prince Consort Road down to the library should be considered for only pedestrians, bikes, and public transportation. This … [more]
The Crossing of Railway Street in Dunston near Staithes Road and the area around it just isn’t good enough. It should at least be a zebra crossing rather than just an island in the middle of the A1114. The footpaths on either side aren’t … [more]
The lack of paved footpaths at Metro Centre West is very noticeable, especially around the junction of Pinetree Way, Marconi Way, and Hollinside Road. People who walk to work or shop on the retail park have worn paths in the grass in some … [more]
There should be a safer, straightforward route for cyclists (and pedestrians) across Blaydon Roundabout/A695 from Blaydon Town centre.
There is a rough path through the trees on the embankment next to Crowley Road (the back lane part). People use it walking down from Clavering Road, and then they go down the steps to Holy Trinity Church and Swalwell village. The back lane … [more]
Safe crossing improvements necessary for walkers and those using the shops. There is limited visibility for pedestrians and cars speed around the bend.
Very narrow footpath forces pedestrians onto the road by a blind corner. There is a history of collisions and near misses here. A crossing would be welcome.
It would help if this path down from Longrigg Road had streetlights. Plus the nearby National Cycle Network route 14, running near the south side of the Tyne, is very dark in this area, even where it runs fairly close to parallel busy … [more]
Brewery Bank is very slippy in frosty and snowy weather. Please put some steps in for people walking down from Crowley Road. There's plenty of pavement that can be partly used to save us all from sliding down on our arses. You could … [more]
There is some terrible speeding down Milton Road, despite it supposedly being a 20 mph zone. How about installing a speed camera here, or getting a speed camera van to come here every so often, to make the situation safer for pedestrians? … [more]
We’d like some more lights in Swalwell Park as well please. It’s lit down the west side, and along the top south side but if you’re not if going to or from the Lumley Avenue. It should suit cyclists as well as pedestrians. Quite a lot of … [more]
Could we please have some lighting in Chase Park in Whickham? Quite a lot of people pass through after dark. Small lamp posts from the central meeting point of the main paths, as far as the four entrances would do, there's no need to … [more]
Add speed bumps. People swing round here fast and there’s nowhere for pedestrians to stand, especially as cars park all along the pavement
