Driven mad

The so-called traffic planners of Sunderland

City Council have achieved something never achieved before in the history of stopping people going to town from Milfield and Pallion.

Instead of turning right at the end of Hylton Road and going down Silksworth Row to the end of St Mary's Way (by the shortest route) you instead go left travelling past B&Q, without any way of turning to the roundabout at the south end of the Alexandre Bridge to then travel again past B&Q but now on your left – two miles instead of five metres.

Oh how much energy or money has been wasted Sunderland Council at its finest.
