The Borough Road footbridge public inquiry has continued into its second day - with a heavy focus on the alleged impact the potential demolition of the footbridge would have on disabled locals.
North Shields residents objected to the proposed demolition of the footbridge, claiming it would make transport in the area more difficult for people living with disabilities. Residents contend removing the bridge would force disabled people to take allegedly more dangerous routes, including the zebra crossing on Borough Road.
One resident successfully proposed an experiment in an attempt to show their case to government inspector Sue Arnott.
