Work is underway to improve footpaths in Wallsend town centre.
New flagstones are being laid on the western side of Station Road after improvements to the eastern side in 2018.
The scheme supports a commitment by North Tyneside’s Elected Mayor Norma Redfearn CBE to prioritise footpath improvements.
She said: “I know how important the condition of roads and pavements is to our residents.
“By prioritising and investing in footpath improvements, dozens of additional schemes have been delivered right across the borough.
“I welcome this further work in Station Road, Wallsend, which will complement improvements in the area last year.”
The previous improvements in Wallsend were to the eastern side of Station Road, between the junction of High Street East and Hawthorn Grove.
The work to the western side of Station Road is from the junction of High Street West to the junction of David Street. The existing paving, immediately adjacent to the highway, is being replaced with new flagstones.
Subject to factors such as the weather, the scheme will be completed in early April. Pedestrian diversions will be clearly signposted.
A site compound has been established on Elton Street East, near Wallsend Customer First Centre, which has required the temporary suspension of disabled parking bays at this location.
