Car parks for St Mary’s Lighthouse in Whitley Bay have become a hotspot for “dogging”, drug taking, and illegal racing, it has been claimed.
Council bosses have been warned of a spate of “anti-social and illegal behaviour throughout the evening and night” at the St Mary’s Island car parks.
The concerns were raised in a public question put to North Tyneside Council this week, alleging a raft of activities that also include “donutting” cars, urinating and defecating, blaring car horns, and “intimidating behaviour to visitors and volunteers”.
