00:01North Tyneside Council is moving forward with plans to repair and rebuild the causeway linking Whitley Bay to St Mary's
00:08Island.
00:09The authority has submitted an Environmental Impact Assessment Scoping Report to the Marine Management Organisation as part of the required
00:18planning process.
00:19If consent is granted, work could begin in 2027.
00:22Plans involve removing sections of the existing structure, exposing bedrock and pouring new concrete to strengthen foundations.
00:31Parts of the causeway have deteriorated despite previous resurfacing, prompting the proposed overhaul.
00:37However, work still awaits approval.
00:39A decision is expected from the Council later this year locally.
