Here's the detail on Grey St/city centre changes (as much as we currently have anyway). Judging by my timeline today, this is probably the most popular thing @NewcastleCC has ever done!

@danhollandnews @ChronicleLive Why have any traffic? Be bold.

@danhollandnews @ChronicleLive There shouldn't be any parking. Loading with restricted times would likely be a decent compromise, although businesses should be looking towards "last mile" cargo bike courier companies. Lorries and trucks for loading should be an exception.

@danhollandnews @ChronicleLive Parking in Newcastle is going to be something parents tell their kids about being able to manage

@danhollandnews @ChronicleLive Would love to see this implemented on Grainger street and pilgirm street. There are some real statement streets that could be so much more than thoroughfares for traffic.

@danhollandnews @DictatorDono @ChronicleLive It gets even better, further down the street @BarlugaGreySt has gone back to being Metropolitan.

@danhollandnews @ChronicleLive No outside seating for the many restaurants on Grey Street then..🤷‍♀️ #cafeculture

@danhollandnews @SophieBarley @ChronicleLive The restaurants aren’t going to be pleased that people can no longer park anywhere near, and that’s a hot spot for taxi pick ups making it even harder for them too.

@danhollandnews @ChronicleLive Cycling Northbound only based on the work of that 'artist' and businesses wanting a delivery will need to bring a Hi-Ab to move the planters aside. This will not work out well.

@danhollandnews @SophieBarley @ChronicleLive Love it, when they pedestrianise monument during the summer it’s so much better. Only people who seem to not want it to happen are the bus companies!

@danhollandnews @MsiDouglas @ChronicleLive Looks awful but when have Newcastle council cared about that

@danhollandnews @ChronicleLive So that’s the city centre sorted Gosforth high street what about the East and West end Benfield Rd and Shields Road past Siemens are still dangerous.People have to cycle TO the city centre first

@danhollandnews @ChronicleLive I would love to know how the shops will get restocked, no room for delivery vehicles to offload there.

@danhollandnews @MsiDouglas @ChronicleLive Looks ok but no need for the cycling lane.

@danhollandnews @ChronicleLive Brilliant

@danhollandnews @ChronicleLive Is this really for social distancing or is it part of the council’s plan to limit traffic in the city even tee?

@danhollandnews @ChronicleLive Looks fantastic👍👍
