They start in Gateshead on Thursday (12 March) and then move on to Newcastle, Durham, Sunderland, South Tyneside, North Tyneside and Northumberland over the next two weeks.

Your feedback can help shape neca’s devolution proposals regarding major issues such as transport, roads, employment, training and housing investment!

Details of works to be carried out on Percy St and the approaches to it.

Not sure it compares to the Central Motorway plans as suggested like.
If you are unaware, this is a brill site http://pathetic.org.uk/features/tyneside/

Very good site is pathetic motorways. And the Tyneside story really does underline how "motorway mad" the city was to have been, before its policy change in favour of metro development.

Be interested to know how others view the plans for Percy street - seems to imply there'll never be a queue to the car parks....!

Hmm the real problem bit is the A19 flyover between Middlesbrough and Norton rather than north of there but obviously that's going to be a harder one to solve.

It may ease the congestion heading northbound, but can't see how it will help southbound traffic for the reasons you mention. That bottleneck at the flyover is going to be there, whether the Billingham bypass has two lanes or three.

There's the possibility of new homes, roads, improved bus services and two new metro stations on North Tyneside.

A shame that appear to be going straight for greenfield destruction mind.

Another link to improving road and rail links. When will it actually happen?

Someone from N Tyneside council appeared on Radio Newcastle the other day.
From what I could gather, he said that the plans are based on statutory legislation, that gives them more power and control over developers. This includes improving or introducing links to public transport and ensuring the developer pays.
