Join us at The Meadows in Meadowell on Thursday the 27th of February for FREE bike marking! We will tag and enter your bike into an online database which can be accessed by Police, meaning you could have your bike returned sooner if it was ever stolen 🚲 Running from 10am-2pm!

🥳 We've had a lovely day in North Tyneside celebrating the incredible achievements of @BentonDenePE - the first North East school to top our WOW Top Ten leader board!
Thank you to Mary Glindon MP and Cllr Janet Hunter for coming down! 🧵
ALT Mary Glindon MP and Cllr Janet Hunter are stood with staff and pupils from Benton Dene Primary School. They are looking into the camera and smiling as they post with Strider - a giant orange foot mascot.
Please travel actively on the school run if you possibly can. If you can't, please park as far away as possible from the school gates. This is one of several issues caused by traffic at the school gate.
Considerate parking can save lives 🚗
With most schools across Tyne & Wear reopening next week after the festive break it’s the perfect time to remind people about the importance of parking sensibly near to school buildings 🚘

📺 This video shows a fire appliance trying to access a busy road in Longbenton during an afternoon school run 🚒
The 'mock' emergency exercise in association with @NTCouncilTeam wanted to highlight how inconsiderate parking could cost lives.

Work is set to begin to create a new 8km active travel route along the coast.
It will provide a safe and seamless link from the Fish Quay to St Mary’s Lighthouse and will improve the look and feel of the coast.

Got the back to school blues? 👩🏫
Many of us will be returning to the school run this week trying to get our young people there on time
But watch this and tell us what's wrong? 🤔
Every year we have the same issue – inconsiderate parking at drop-off and pick up
Great feedback from another new North Tyneside #schoolstreet that started yesterday at @SMemorial.
A great start to the @bentondeneprim #schoolstreet this morning. Lots of happy active travellers and drivers parking well away from the entrance.

Our TWFRS teams were also joined by partners from local organisations like @GoSmarterNT @NTCouncilTeam who gave out some essential road safety advice for road users and school goers (parking outside of school).
A big thank you for everyone who came along! 😀👍

Another great morning at @marine_school; always such a welcoming school.
Great to see all those scooters!

How often do we jump in the car for short journeys when we could walk or cycle there in a few minutes? Make a climate action pledge to leave the car at home when you can. Read more about our Action on Climate Change campaign here

During the summer months, more cyclists and bikers will be on the roads 🚲
Drivers can help to reduce cyclist and biker casualties by slowing down, taking a second look before pulling out, and leaving plenty of space when overtaking - at least 1.5m.
