| What we do |
All pavements in Newcastle, including those in residential areas, are inspected at least twice per year.
Pavements in busier areas such as out of town shopping areas and main transport links are inspected every 3 months.
The pavements in the main shopping areas in Newcastle (the City Centre, Gosforth High Street, Chillingham Road Shops and Shields Road) are inspected every month. |
