Restaurant Week will be returning to North Tyneside after councillors backed plans to entice people with food deals and free parking.
In a rare case of cross-party agreement, both conservative and labour councillors voted in favour of a tory motion for the council to back plans to re-introduce the event to North Tyneside.
The council has agreed to make council parking free and to talk with Nexus to explore bringing down the price of metro tickets to make visits during the week easier.
