Whickham lighting to be improved


LIGHTING in the St Mary’s Green shopping area in Whickham, Gateshead, is to be improved following representations by local Liberal Democrat Councillors Peter Craig, Chris Ord and Mary Wallace.

New lighting will be installed at the front of the shops and on the two alleyways leading from the car park. Subject to money then being available in the budget, lighting will be installed in the St Mary’s Green car park as well.

“This is good news,” said Cllr Craig. “This area has a history of anti-social behaviour and improved lighting here will help us tackle this problem. It will also improve security.”
