As the City Centre develops it's more about the experience of living, working and shopping in the centre, Pilgrim and NB Street, those streets are pivotal to the redevelopment of the City Centre
They've shown pre-covid they can close Blackett St wilth little disruption.
The issue is again Newcastle City Council and the PTE lack of planning. Marlborough Crescent and Worswick St haven't been replaced
