I WITNESSED another accident outside the Manor House Hotel on the small roundabout, in Front Street, West Auckland, on New Year's Eve.

Fortunately, none of the occupants were seriously hurt.

However, it won't be long before someone is killed at this accident black spot.

Considering the number of accidents that have occurred here, someone from Durham County Council's highways department must sort this out as soon as possible.

I have seen several crashes, some of them minor, which will not have been reported but the number of near-misses by cars travelling down the road and not realising the roundabout is there must be in the hundreds.
