Residents agree with the calls to improve the steps and ramps at the Metro Station which can be dangerous, particularly in bad weather. Local people also want the buses to return to their old routes - the No 1 & 2 services going along Appletree Gardens and Shields Road; the No 22 along Fossway.

Keeping Newcastle Moving
With the early arrival of prolonged Arctic conditions, council staff and others worked around the clock to try to keep things moving and ensure essential services were delivered to local people. Across the city, over 450 people worked to keep main routes open and to keep the footpaths around schools, hospitals, shops and residential homes clear of snow and ice. Care workers trudged around the streets in order to ensure their clients were not neglected, particularly over the Christmas period. Teachers and school staff also ensured that many local schools remained open throughout most of the worst of the weather.
