Can't walk on the pavement because of the parked cars, can't walk on the road because of the cars. Welcome to Heaton (Car)Park.
@NewcastleCC @NCLGreenParty @NewcastleLibDem @NewcastleLabour
It's clear what the cause of air pollution on Stephenson Road is. A barrier alongside a pavement isn't going to solve the problem. Air pollution has been greatly reduced in London through strong leadership addressing issues sensibly. We need the same to happen in Newcastle.

It’s good to see @BBCNEandCumbria picking up on the proposed air pollution barriers for Stephenson Road (the Coast Road).

Any word if this will bring forward the long anticipated extension to the Heaton Road cycle path and redesign of Corner House junctions?
This street passes a school with over 2000 students only prioritises vehicles. People are hemmed in to narrow pavements which are blocked by bus shelters, side roads have fast, sweeping entrances, crossing points have tiny islands, and the cycle lane is narrow and painted.

Almost everything could be better here. This should be a street that prioritises people over vehicles. Huge parts of the street are hatched off to make things easier for drivers. There’s nothing that makes things easier for pedestrians and the thousands of people at the school.
The main cycle route between North Tyneside and Newcastle will definitely be covered in ice for the next week, rendering it unusable.
The road will be fine if drivers slow down a bit.
⚠️WARNING
📌A1058 Coast Road / Norham Road #NorthTyneSide.
ℹ️Road surface temperatures have dropped below -1°C. Take care due to possible ice on surfaces.
As peak Christmas shopping time arrives and city centre car parks fill up, most Metro park and ride sites have plenty of space.
Buses in Heaton are not where they should be due to a fire on Chillingham Road this evening. You can find where yours is at sensors.spaceforheaton.com/b…

OPERATIONAL UPDATE:
The Pedestrian and Cyclist Tunnels will be closed from 10pm on Thursday 16 October until 6am on Friday 17 October.
Please note that no replacement bus service will be in operation during this time.
Last Thurs, 9th Oct, 8-9am it took 4 mins more for some people to drive from Cowgate to the Tyne Bridge than on Thurs 10th Oct last year.
In 4-6pm times were lower this year. During the day they were very similar.
The black line is times before bridge work started.
