Street lights not working, 18th January

54.854417 -1.48104

The pathway from newbottle primary academy school heading towards Staddon Way, Newbottle has street lights but they are never turned on. The lights were erected a few years ago. This makes it very dark especially in the winter for children leaving school and for dog walkers. There is also a new estate beside this pathway which must make it unsafe for them too. Please turn these lights on!!

Each weekend, Sundays are worse, there are a number of Quad bikes and illegal motorcycles who ride down Station Road turn into West Bridge Street and drive at speed along the public bridleway towards Penshaw/Shiney Row. Sometimes 3/4 together. They ride around the bollards onto the paths. Part of the path has been resurfaced, it will be churned up in no time unless more bollards or preventative measures are put in place. They are a nuisance and annoyance to residents and legitimate users of the paths.
