Something for North Tyneside Council North Tyneside Labour Councillors Cllr Karen Clark to mull over, as they abandon plans for a cycle route to a secondary school. Enabling children & young people to cycle to school is one of the easiest ways of dealing with inactivity & obesity. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

“Nexus has invested to improve the integration between cycling and Metro, by providing new high quality bike storage at Metro stations and interchanges. ” …right sentiment but much to improve still. Tyne and Wear Metro North Tyneside Council

On Saturday activists and campaigners from across the North East came together to identify priorities for transport in our region. With the help of Low Traffic Future we're building our response to the LTP consultation over the coming weeks. Lend your voice and ideas. Get in touch!

We're pleased to see some coverage of our concerns over the abandonment of the Preston Road cycle scheme, highlighting our questions about how this fits with North Tyneside Council's commitments to active travel, net zero, and safe routes to school - and about the funding.

Just reviewing the plans for phase 2 of the Seafront Sustainable Route (aka Sunrise Cycleway 🌅🚲😊) and spotted this. Now North Tyneside Council have abandoned the Preston Rd route and made no substantive progress on the Tynemouth Rd route, how is access to North Shields being improved?

No cycle path for 100s of kids cycling to school, but expanded Community Speed Watch. "Ensuring all of our residents and visitors are safe on our roads is one of our top priorities" chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-eas…

“Older NIMBYs prioritised over young people again”: Council scraps bike lane scheme that would allow kids to cycle to school, after meeting “hijacked by Tories” preventing safety improvements road.cc/content/news/c…

Ped & cycle tunnel closed since 31st Oct, with some bus replacement, but big gaps in the timetable. And the ferry is on reduced crossings. It’s almost like no one cares how those walking and cycling might reliably get across the river.

Ped & cycle tunnel still closed (and inclined lifts still stationary)

More and more UK councils are moving over, including our north-eastern neighbours Durham County Council - any plans to add Bluesky to your social media portfolio North Tyneside Council? bsky.app/starter-pack-s…

The tunnels have now been closed since 31st Oct, with a couple of brief openings. There’s an intermittent bus replacement but this is a huge inconvenience for those walking & cycling. Can you imagine the storm if the car tunnels were closed for more than 2 weeks?

Tunnels closed again today, and comments here and on Facebook show how unreliable the bus is for getting people on foot and on bike to work (and elsewhere) across the river. This has to be taken more seriously. North Tyneside Council Official South Tyneside Council North East Combined Authority Kim McGuinness

OMG! Years of waiting, but the inclined lifts are open!
