REVAMP PLANS MUST INCLUDE METRO STATION

30 Nov 2008

The Liberal Democrats are continuing to press council planners to ensure that upgrades to Chillingham Road Metro station are included in the Siemens site regeneration plans, with a view to securing private sector developer contributions to the cost.

Councillor Greg Stone, Parliamentary spokesman for Newcastle East, says: "We have asked the council to ensure that the plans include a more attractive 'public realm' with better and safer pedestrian links to residential areas and new developments."

Councillor Stone is a member of the Tyne & Wear Passenger Transport Authority and is continuing to lobby NEXUS to secure improvements.
