Gosforth Investment:
Q3 Electrics
43/44/45 Electrics
30/31/36 Electrics
New Cycle Lanes
30/31/36 BSIP Improvement on a frequent service
Heaton Investment:
New Cycle Lanes
1 BSIP Improvement on a frequent service
New Low Traffic Schemes
Outer West, Walker, and Byker Investment:
...
It's like a 2 tier city and parts of the West End are an absolute disgrace, they can't even be bothered to cut the grass.
Not sure who you’re upset at here.
The investments you’ve mentioned are surely from at least three different organisations.
And if you’re going to throw in random topic such as grass cutting, how about the major investment in the Outer West’s brand new pool, gym, sports hall, community space and library.
Does Heaton have an equivalent of Byker pool/gym or Walker Activity Dome?
Benwell & Elswick have had a major new cycleway in the last few years, which is due to be extended further. Fenham had an LTN.
Presumably many of the investments you’ve listed for Gosforth and Heaton have been a result of them being popular densely populated areas just outside of the city centre, with busy high streets, numerous schools, several large employment sites, busy public & private transport corridors, and as a result they see their fair share of congestion, air quality and traffic related safety issues which all need to be migrated.
