Work is about to begin on a major scheme of improvements for one of the busiest streets
00:04
in North Shields. Bedford Street, one of the main shopping areas in North Shields,
00:08
is getting smart new paving, mature trees and modern seating to create an attractive,
00:12
high-quality finish. The scheme is due to be completed in mid-2025. The pedestrian area
00:17
will be extended along the length of the street with access for emergency and maintenance vehicles
00:21
only. The new layout will improve safety and create extra space outside for cafe seating,
00:26
other business use and events. The work is being done by North Tyneside Council's construction
00:32
partner, Capita. Access to all shops will be maintained throughout the works and Bedford
00:37
Street remains open for business. The Council have spoken to affected premises about their
00:41
delivery and access needs and new loading bays are being provided. The clock tower outside the
00:47
Beacon Centre will be demolished as part of the scheme to improve sightlines along Bedford Street
00:51
and because it's also become a maintenance liability for the Council. North Tyneside
00:55
Council have advised that the Christmas markets will still go ahead.
