Have a read but one of the proposals is for Percy Street to become bus only between Eldon Square Bus Station and Gallowgate in both directions. All the changes are quite radical though.

I'm not from the area but have used that road before and its a nightmare!

Wonder what effect it will have on the Gate, with F&B, TGI Fridays and Handmade Burger Co. already being in there.

Actually went to George's on Tuesday, for lunch, since it was my birthday (29 and a lot) and I was out with Husband. Chips were obviously frozen and fried in oil, but tasty but I had a lovely sweet piece of plaice, in a really light batter. They had a few teething problems on the bar and gave us our drinks free. Definitely well worth a visit. The loos, as yet unsullied by a Saturday night, are fabulous. Lots of amusing, quirky decor, artwork and fishy cushions. The package with the kids' menu is great because it comes as a folded hat!

The plans for Newcastle City Centre have moved forward. The £3 million investment will see Blackett Street, the north end of Pilgrim Street and New Bridge Street closed to buses and taxis in the interim with hopes to fully pedestrianise in the future.
