The report will be used to inform the Stage 1 Baseline Report which will assess and summarise the technical studies required for Stage 1 of the Area Action Plan. 1.1.2 The Accessibility Audit (completed March 2018) concluded that the dominance of the car and existing highway infrastructure in the study area is currently detrimental to the connectivity and accessibility of facilities to support walking and cycling. Provision for walking and cycling varies across the study area, however, there is very little infrastructure available to support north to south movement. In addition, there is currently insufficient direct connectivity by public transport to employment facilities in the surrounding areas. 1.1.3 The results of the traffic modelling undertaken for both the AAP Policy, and AAP Policy plus additional leisure development runs, highlight a number of junctions that are likely to be problematic and experience congestion and delay, with the extent of problems and the number of junctions affected increasing with the leisure run. Several junction locations are identified as experiencing major or severe increases in queues and delays. Further work including additional model runs will be required to understand the extent of the impact on the road network and these should feed into future stages of the AAP. This work will need to be informed by an understanding of the patterns of leisure and other journeys, particularly the degree to which they may be undertaken as linked trips. Potential mitigation measures will be identified and fed into future stages of the AAP preparation. 1.1.4 Modelling has also been undertaken to assess the potential impact of new bridge provision over the Tyne in the vicinity of MetroGreen. This has indicated that that a new bridge is not a requirement for the quantum of development delivered by the MetroGreen AAP and it has therefore been confirmed that bridge proposals should no longer be included in the future stages of the MetroGreen AAP. 1.1.5 Survey data from the car park surveys confirms that there are currently no capacity issues evident at the Metrocentre on typical days outside of peak shopping periods (such as Christmas). However, overall occupancy on a Saturday is high at 90% meaning visitors are probably spending time finding vacant spaces that could be spent using the facilities. This probably adds to traffic levels on the internal highway network. 1.1.6 This Stage 1 Transport and Accessibility Report has identified the following opportunities for potential consideration within future stages of the AAP: ● Reduce severance and improve permeability to overcome the dominance of the road network in the area; ● Provide continuous, dedicated pedestrian facilities throughout MetroGreen which are well designed and clearly signposted; ● Provide a transformative cycle network by maximising the opportunities presented by the presence of the National Cycle Network route 14 and highway layouts; ● Improve the integration of public transport facilities with walking and cycling routes with particular focus on the existing public transport interchange; 377771 | 010 | C | 16 April 2019 Mott MacDonald | MetroGreen 2 Area Action Plan Evidence Stage 1 - Transport and Accessibility Report ● Address the existing disconnect between the different districts of MetroGreen by maximising the Sense of Place and improving connections with the riverside and open spaces; ● Create a 24hr offer for MetroGreen in order to improve the perception of personal security and quality of the environment thus enhancing the liveability of the area; ● Improve direct connectivity by public transport to key employment facilities both in Gateshead and Newcastle; ● Any new highway infrastructure required should support access to the passenger transport interchange and include public transport measures (e.g. bus stops, bus lanes, bus gates) to ensure accessibility to key facilities is consistent across the study area; ● Opportunity to maintain existing levels of parking provision for retail within the study area while increasing the number of households who can reach the Metrocentre by public transport; ● Provision of parking for new housing should reflect the aspiration to create a sustainable community which is not reliant on private car use.

  • Bridges Over the Tyne Session Plan
    Bridges over the Tyne Session Plan There are seven bridges over the Tyne between central Newcastle and Gateshead but there have been a number of bridges in the past that do not exist anymore. However the oldest current bridge, still standing and crossing the Tyne is actually at Corbridge, built in 1674. Pon Aelius is the earliest known bridge. It dates from the Roman times and was built in the reign of the Roman Emperor Hadrian at the same time as Hadrian’s Wall around AD122. It was located where the Swing Bridge is now and would have been made of wood possibly with stone piers. It last- ed until the Roman withdrawal from Britain in the 5th century. Two altars can be seen in the Great North Museum to Neptune and Oceanus. They are thought to have been placed next to the bridge at the point where the river under the protection of Neptune met the tidal waters of the sea under the protection of Oceanus. The next known bridge was the Medieval Bridge. Built in the late 12th century, it was a stone arched bridge with huge piers. The bridge had shops, houses, a chapel and a prison on it. It had towers with gates a drawbridge and portcullis reflecting its military importance. The bridge collapsed during the great flood of 1771, after three days of heavy rain, with a loss of six lives. You can still see the remains of the bridge in the stone archways on both the Newcastle and Gateshead sides of the river where The Swing Bridge is today.

  • Northeast England – a History of Flash Flooding
    Northeast England – A history of flash flooding Introduction The main outcome of this review is a description of the extent of flooding during the major flash floods that have occurred over the period from the mid seventeenth century mainly from intense rainfall (many major storms with high totals but prolonged rainfall or thaw of melting snow have been omitted). This is presented as a flood chronicle with a summary description of each event. Sources of Information Descriptive information is contained in newspaper reports, diaries and further back in time, from Quarter Sessions bridge accounts and ecclesiastical records. The initial source for this study has been from Land of Singing Waters –Rivers and Great floods of Northumbria by the author of this chronology. This is supplemented by material from a card index set up during the research for Land of Singing Waters but which was not used in the book. The information in this book has in turn been taken from a variety of sources including newspaper accounts. A further search through newspaper records has been carried out using the British Newspaper Archive. This is a searchable archive with respect to key words where all occurrences of these words can be viewed. The search can be restricted by newspaper, by county, by region or for the whole of the UK. The search can also be restricted by decade, year and month. The full newspaper archive for northeast England has been searched year by year for occurrences of the words ‘flood’ and ‘thunder’. It was considered that occurrences of these words would identify any floods which might result from heavy rainfall.

  • Through the Years
    Benwell through the years In Maps and Pictures St James’ Heritage & Environment Group in partnership with West Newcastle Picture History Collection This book is the result of a joint project between St James’ Heritage & Environment Group and West Newcastle Picture History Collection. It is based on an exhibition of maps and photographs displayed at St James’ Church and Heritage Centre in Benwell during 2015. All the photographs come from West Newcastle Picture History Collection’s unique archive of over 19,000 photographs of West Newcastle from the 1880s to date. The Ordnance Survey maps are reproduced by kind permission of the copyright holders. Acknowledgements St James’ Heritage & Environment Group and West Newcastle Picture History Collection are both wholly volunteer-run organisations. This book would not have been possible without the work of the many volunteers, past and present, who have collected photographs, carried out research on the history of this area, planned and curated exhibitions, and encouraged so many others to explore and enjoy the history of West Newcastle. We are grateful for the support of Make Your Mark who funded the production of this book and the Imagine North East project managed by Durham University and funded by the Economic and Social Research Council through the Connected Communities programme whose financial and other support made the original exhibition possible. ©St James’ Heritage & Environment Group and West Newcastle Picture History Collection, 2015 ISBN 978-0-992183-2-3 Published by St James’ Heritage & Environment Group, 2015 Series Editor: Judith Green All rights reserved.
