Healthy Metro Neighbourhoods

Overview

South Tyneside Council have been awarded funding via the Department for Transport's Transforming Cities Fund (TCF) Tranche 2. A proportion of this will be going towards a scheme called Healthy Metro Neighbourhoods.

Worth approximately £3million and focussing on two Metro stations- Tyne Dock and Chichester. Through this scheme it is proposed that the Council and it's delivery partners will;

• Improve Walking and Cycling links to both Metro Stations
• Improve ridership on Metro
• Improve Road Safety, and;
• Improve Walking and Cycling rates overall.

It is expected that these schemes will commence in 2022 and be largely completed by 2023.

The plans are found below;

Why your views matter

Your views are important as we develop this project and it's outcomes. By letting us know what you, the resident of South Tyneside would like to see, we will be able to make appropriate changes to the scheme to ensure that it has the best chance of becoming a fundamental and worthwhile part of South Tynesides Highway Network.

To ensure any amendments can be incorporated into the proposals, this consultation will end on 01/07/2022.

What happens next

Once the consultation process concludes we will spend some time analysing the data and report back to the public. Design changes will be fed to the Designers to consider and subject to viability may make their way into the final scheme.
