A193 Seafront Active Travel Scheme

Closes 30 Jun 2025

Opened 9 Jun 2025

Overview

We have been informed of some display issues when viewing the plans within the survey. We are working on fixing these, but most issues can be solved by zooming in on the images or by right clicking and opening on a new tab.

The A193 Seafront Active Travel scheme will see improvements to existing infrastructure and new infrastructure established between Kingsway to Old Hartley.  The scheme will connect with current improvement works on Bondicar Terrace to the north (and onwards to Blyth Town Centre) and connect to improvement works in North Tyneside (Sustainable Seafront Scheme) to the south.  These works are of regional significance as they will advance active travel improvement works further north as an extension from the network improvements made to date in Sunderland, South Tyneside and North Tyneside.

Why your views matter

The consultation is an opportunity for you to have your say on the A193 Seafront Active Travel scheme that is being brought forward. We’ll use the responses to shape the detailed design of the proposals.  Please note this consultation isn’t seeking views on the justification for the route.

We want to understand how local residents, businesses and visitors currently use the route at present, any issues that exist, and whether or not the proposals would encourage you to use the route more often, in particular on foot, wheeling or cycling. The insights you share will give us an understanding on how to shape the scheme going forward to ensure that it is the best fit for users.

If you have further queries beyond the consultation, or would like to request a hard copy of the information, please contact our dedicated mailbox: highwaysprogramme@northumberland.gov.uk
