Discussions continue with interested groups at Tyne Riverside, but as yet there is nothing definite.

Please continue to notify NCC immediately if you have any issues with the condition at Tyne Riverside, or if you come across any footpath in bad condition, stiles needing repair etc.

The cafes are currently to remain under local control, but we need to be vigilant, as this year's takings will be reduced not only by the bad weather, but by the fact that restocking was not allowed until the franchise exercise was completed.
