Barmoor mini-hub to be axed

Nexus looks set to demolish the Barmoor mini-hub, which was built only 5 years ago as a pilot scheme for transport in rural areas. The mini-hub rural transport project has cost £1.6 million.

The mini-hub was built despite strong opposition from local residents who said the project would not work. What a pity Nexus and Gateshead Council didn’t listen at the time.
Local Lib Dem Councillors have put forward alternative uses for the building, such as a base for the police, but have been told that there is no funding available.
