Bus companies and residents the victims

IF planning consent is granted for a seafront care home at Eastbourne Gardens then it is proposed to remove the bus turning circle and turn some 55 buses per day at the roundabout on Claremont Road.

Just what has changed with this planning application?

I WOULD like to thank Mr Stillaway from West Monkseaton for his letter (News Guardian, February 9) in doing the council’s job in bringing me up to date with the proposed housing development adjacent to the A192 Earsdon Road.

Thankfully plan was rejected

IN reply to Mr Walls’ letter (News Guardian, January 26), thank goodness North Tyneside Council did reject his road layout proposal.
