THANK YOU to everyone who has supported our opposition to North Tyneside Council's plans. We will be sending the council details of this petition with our official objection notice later on today and hope that it makes a difference.

We had no idea that we would reach so many signatures - it would be fantastic to get to over 3000. Please can we ask you to share our petition one more time across social media and anywhere else that people may notice it.

The power of our community is amazing and it is obvious how these proposals have the potential to affect many of the town's businesses, residents and visitors.
