Overview

South Tyneside Council have been alerted by residents to access problems on Wood Terrace at its junctiom with Tweed Street, Jarrow. When vehicles are parked within 10m of a narrow junction such as this it reduces forward visibility for both motorists an pedestrians which is a road safety concern.
