Statement on Jesmond East Neighbourhood Low Traffic Zone

A Newcastle City Council spokesperson said: “We have been made aware of comments on a local social media group suggesting that Northumbria Police were not consulted about the Low Traffic Neighbourhood trial in Jesmond East.

Emergency services including Northumbria Police have been consulted throughout the process. We would like to reiterate that a letter of support for the trial was received by the Council from Northumbria Police on the 16 June and a joint statement on the matter was issued on 19 June.

We would encourage all residents who wish to share their views about the trial to contribute to the consultation, which has been extended until 15 October.”
