A few pics from early last week in and around Whitley Bay in North Tyneside.
Less than a minute earlier the Spanish City was bathed in a bright sunbeam which I typically missed!

Street Life North Tyneside have written a good response to the North East Combined Authority's local travel plan: https://streetlifentyneside.org.uk/2025/02/17/our-response-to-north-east-combined-authoritys-local-travel-plan/

Really, it's just a long list of demands, but they make sense. The point about how many dangerous junctions you have to cross when cycling from north tyneside to Newcastle resonates with me, and feels like an obvious priority for the cycle network.

NORTH TYNESIDE COUNCIL RESULT

Council seats:

🔴 Labour: 51 (+4)
🔵 Conservatives: 8 (+1)
⚫ Independents: 1 (-5)

Labour HOLD.

The Independents were councillors who'd quit Labour over 'bullying and misogyny' in the group and in support of independent mayoral candidate Jamie Driscoll. They ran a 'Community Independents' slate in the election.

No Fret On South Parade, Whitley Bay | JoMo Unscripted

We noticed that No Fret had moved since are last visit to Whitley Bay. We decided to head over on a rainy afternoon. Great space close to the seafront.
