The new houses being built down Burdon Lane


It won’t be long. They’re ripping the roundabout up now at the chicken farm
Just the link road from the farm roundabout to burdon road, top of tunstall to do .the road is done, just need to join it into existing burdon road. I think it will be a roundabout.
Once that's done, is the old road deffo turning to bus lane only?

Aye they’re just relaying the roundabout out the bottom, ripping it out was probably a strong statement 😂

The top roundabout is pretty much there now, then I don’t know what will happen when they try to do the works to link the new road through the new estate into Tunstall because that’s going to be a roundabout as well.

I read somewhere it was going bus lane only, can’t see it like cos there’s loads of estates that need access. I’ll see if I can dig it out

I’ve definitely read something more recent, but this is literally the only thing I can find

Its crazy plan imo. Coming from doxy into silky under the new plan of a bus route, you'd have to go right at the new roundabout, left along the access road to bring you out outside an already stupidly busy road at the ven Bede school, then back up through tunstall green into silksworth. I'm all for the link road to cherry knowle, it will take traffic away from ryhope, but the bus only plan on Burdon road is just f***ing stupid

They reckon the road out of Highclere/Woodham Drive toward Venerable Bede is going double yellow as well. Parents won’t be able to queue up on either side anymore. Be amazed if that happens

It will be mate, and rightly so. There will be a huge increase in traffic along there. It's horrendous on a morning down there like traffic wise. Let the little fuckers walk or bus it to school.
Is there a pub or shops being built on this development?
It's been muted. Won't happen imo.

Farringdon gets knocked down this year, new one being built on the same site too
Doctors surgery aswell I think. I much prefer the ones up the potters hill end mind.the 3 estates up there are spot on.
