I missed this going out for consultation in the summer, but there is finally a scheme to upgrade NCN14 from the Tyne pedestrian and cycling tunnels though Jarrow as far as Hebburn Metro station with a link to Jarrow Metro too.

90 years ago today, Ellen Wilkinson presented the Jarrow Marchers petition to House of Commons

@sundersays.bsky.social Legal challenge? Given there has been no change to the Home Sec it’s clear the HO view on this cohort. How can a last minute change be justified and legal? Jarrow MP Kate Osborne specifically asked this in a written question in June, Alex Norris confirmed the previous stance.
