Work to transform two side streets in Newcastle city centre into a 'pocket park' and stylish dining destination is almost complete.
Improvements to Ridley Place and Saville Row, which are just off Northumberland Street, have been going on for months - but now Newcastle City Council said the projects are set to be finished in time for the summer.
Visitors can expect a "pocket park" as part of the changes to Ridley Place, as well as a series of murals created by local artists that aim to brighten the area. New lighting, seating and planters will also be installed as the council looks to create a "greener more welcoming place" in the city centre.
