So sad to see so many empty shopping units
There is not one shop open at the top end towards the library
Let's hope North Tyneside Council has a plan

This place has went downhill for the past few years, especially since covid. Half the shops are closed. It used to have a great buzz about the place and it was always busy. Such a shame

This was a quick visit as we had dropped a friend off at a local dentist. I was impressed with the Covid safety measures. Clear one-way system and markings. Sadly the Centre appears to be suffering like many others with a number of shops closed. I did like the banking area at one end.
