SPACE for Gosforth

What are they all about? How to have your say Newcastle City Council are seeking comments on their designs for the north of the city centre including Barras Bridge, Percy Street, Claremont Road, Queen Victoria Road and the Great North Road. These include extra space for pedestrians and how cycle routes from Gosforth link to the city centre. Bill Dodds has kindly agreed to quickly talk us through the proposals and answer any questions. There should be a few days following this meeting in which you can submit any feedback. Note that SPACE for Gosforth does not respond as a group to council consultations. If you want these changes to happen and/or to provide feedback then you must respond yourself. These are the plans if you want a look in advance of the meeting. https://northnewcastle.commonplace.is/ If you can come to the meeting please let us know on the Facebook event. - Please tell your family, friends and neighbours about SPACE for Gosforth too - Join us on www.facebook.com/groups/space.gosforth

SPACE presence on the High Street: Saturday 17th October from 11am-2pm. We will be setting up a stall on the High Street tomorrow morning to raise awareness of SPACE with local people and particularly highlight the air quality issue. We will have a monitor for fine particulates and be able to measure the levels during our time there. The stall will also include leaflets about SPACE and about air pollution for local people to take away. Hopefully the presence of the monitor will attract attention and raise our profile a bit. If you are planning to be around in Gosforth between 11am and 2pm tomorrow please come along and say hello. We will be outside Boots opposite Trinity Square. This will be a good chance for us to meet each other, to take materials for our family and friends, and to talk to members of the public about the issues and solutions as we see them. Hope to see some of you there and please share!
