Work on the bus station update

MILESTONE REACHED IN NORTH SHIELDS REGENERATION

The creation of a modern and convenient transport hub in North Shields has taken a major step forward today (28 February).

Set to bring public transport together into one central place and attract more people to the town centre, North Tyneside Council’s proposed transport hub will be located on the site of the former Co-op building on Bedford Street.

Work will get underway to strip the inside of the building before demolition begins in three weeks’ time.

The work is expected to take nine weeks to complete.

Three weeks stripping the inside of the building, followed by the demolition of the building due to take place from the end of March until the end of April

Parking bays on the west side of Rudyerd Street between Railway Terrace and William Street will be suspended for the duration of the works. Rudyerd Street will also temporarily become one-way with no northbound access

Two sets of investigation trenches will be dug in the footpaths at the back of Railway Terrace and near to the Metro station ramp in order to assess the depth of utilities and services. These areas are adjacent to vacant premises. The footpaths will be fenced off, but the road will remain open
