Foxhunters to Whitley Bay

We are creating a safer and easier sustainable route between Foxhunters Roundabout and Whitley Bay Metro Station.

The scheme will:

  • Make it easier to travel between neighbourhoods, schools, shops and public transport.
  • Improve safety and comfort for people walking, wheeling and cycling.
  • Give people more options for making everyday journeys.
  • Improve access to Whitley Bay Metro Station.

These improvements will help people of all ages get around more easily, whether they are travelling to school, work, local services or the town centre.

What's included?

  • A new separated walking and cycling route between Foxhunters and the Marden Estate.
  • A shared walking and cycling path on Marden Road South.
  • A new signal-controlled crossing on Marden Road South.
  • Widening of existing paths where appropriate.
