Work to start on Northumberland Square and Howard Street soon and to expect completion in Summer 2022

Wonder how bus service are gonna work when Howard Street gets work started

(23 Sep 2021, 11:38 am)Train8261 There's that new transport hub being done as well. Wonder when that's gonna start work

(23 Sep 2021, 1:22 pm)Keeiajs Do you have any links to that?

(23 Sep 2021, 1:42 pm)Train8261 There's links to the plan for North Shields 

Google: North Shields Transport hub or North Shields regeneration plan
But there isn't any direct link to the Transport hub itself

(10 Oct 2021, 10:49 am)Train8261 Looking through both plans. There is two different versions of the bus station

Being in North Shields over the past few weeks. Around where the bus station is to go is what looks like spray paint on the ground and talking to the owner of a cafe near the metro station the council bought all the buildings where it is going. They are going to do Howard Street first then close Iceland down then start work on the bus station

(10 Oct 2021, 7:05 pm)Storx Unless plans have changed for a third time, I don't believe Iceland is planned to close. It's only the co-op which is going and they've already shut down for it.



That's the latest plan I believe.

(10 Oct 2021, 7:40 pm)Train8261 It's confusing due to 3 different plans of the bus station. Yet what's werid. All shops apart from Iceland have been bought and closed down by the council for the bus station to start. Yet Iceland remains in the same place. It looks so out of place

---

Not unless the plan is to build round Iceland and keep Iceland slap bang in the middle and the bus station built behind it.

From photo's that's been took of North Shields showing the general area of where rhe bus station will be

Last photo is mine and the rest are other people's

Out of the 5 photos of buses shown next to the big building next to the metro station is where the bus station is meant to be

(10 Oct 2021, 10:54 pm)Storx If I'm right the bus station is where the yellow is and always has been. What's changed is now instead of them knocking down the light blue area they're now knocking down the green area instead as it's cheaper since the Metro doesn't run underneath. Don't think it's ever been planned to knock down Costa / Iceland / the old Burger King or McDonalds unit. The back half of the Co-op has been abandoned for years, it used to be one big shop at one point but then they only kept the front half.

(11 Oct 2021, 12:52 pm)Train8261 Yea looking at the yellow is to be the bus station. Yet there 3 different versions of the transport hub. Which all 3 are to fit in that small space (in yellow) I think the blue part is the part there gonna demolish but the cafe owner says that they bought the building (in Green)

(09 Nov 2021, 1:37 pm)Train8261 Work might be starting soon on the bus station as Metal Fence has been put around the area where the bus station is planned to be
