Councillors in North Tyneside Council have called for the borough to host a Restaurant Week next spring.
Tory councillors Liam Bones, Lewis Bartoli and Olly Scargill want Mayor Norma Redfearn and the cabinet to work towards several measures to bring people to local eateries.
A motion, put forward by the trio, reads: "North Tyneside has so far had sporadic success with the same concept, with the last Restaurant Week being held before the Covid-19 pandemic. Since then many new eateries have opened their doors and with the cost of living on the rise our local businesses could really do with a boost."
