Thinking about it, I can remember being told that taxi and bus drivers were scared of coming through places like Murton and Seaham on the nights it was kicking off.
What is Meadowwell like these days, didn't the local council start to regenerate the area after the riots

Joy riding and TWOC'ing, seemed the thing to do back then. There wasnt a weekend, when a car hadn't been nicked, crashed or burnt-out.
Some of the members who live in North Tyneside may be better placed to comment, but any regeneration of Meadowell seems to have long faded away. Driven through it fairly recently and it wasn't looking too grand.
There is a decent sports centre there (The Parks?) and obviously across the road, the Royal Quays area has the shopping outlet and housing around the basin.
