North Tyneside councillors are to request Nexus install manned ticket barriers at Cullercoats and Tynemouth metro stations in an effort to tackle anti-social behaviour.
The Labour group passed a motion last night and added an amendment to the original Tory motion to write to Transport Secretary Anne-Marie Trevelyan asking her to increase NEXUS’s budget to allow for investments in such barriers.
The original motion, put forward by conservative councillors, was to ask NEXUS to install ticket barriers before summer 2023 and to ensure these were manned at peak anti-social times.
