Driven to Distraction?

Have you seen the Central Motorway Electronic Advertising Board in Newcastle.

Published 15th Dec 2014

There's a major row brewing in Newcastle over some advertising on the central motorway.

You will have seen it near New Bridge Street as you're heading towards the Tyne Bride

Lib Dem Councillor Greg Stone says the council are thinking more about profit than safety.

Newcastle City Countil say they consulted the public about the proposals and any money they're making wasn't taken into consideration by their planning department.

Fenham's finest magician Chris Cross advertises his Quayside Cabaret nights on the board (see pic) - he's told us he believes the signs are only as distracting as motorway signage and since he's advertised his show's had extra interest.
