Readers of the Hexham Courant online took to social media to share their views on the news the A69 roundabout is on track for completion.

PAUL CROSS: “Apart from giving people employment, a complete waste of time and money. They’d be far better off widening the road west of Hexham, even part of it!”

ALISON CULVERWELL: “Total waste of money. There will still be hold ups getting into Hexham due to the bridge. Also it will be difficult trying to cross two fast lanes of traffic to get into Acomb. The money would have been better spent improving the rest of the 69 towards Carlisle.

HOWARD GRAHAM: “Waste of money. Acomb turn off will be a death trap, turning right out of the fast lane, utter madness.”

SUE SUZ DAVISON: “I can’t see there was ever a problem in the first place.”

PAULA DODDS: “Waste of money. Dual carriage way from two mile cottages to Haydon Bridge, money better spent.”

SARAH BELL: “Doesn’t matter what anyone thinks..its done.”
