There are just a few days left to get your votes in for this year's Newcastle Loves awards, and, after nearly 23,000 votes in just over a week, the results look set to go right down to the wire.
When ChronicleLive first launched Newcastle Loves back in 2019, it was with a firm view to making it an annual event to honour the people and places that make our amazing city to great. Unfortunately, Covid had other ideas, meaning we unfortunately had to shelves plans to have in both 2020 and 2021.
However, with things opening up a lot more over the past year, we felt it time to bring Newcastle Loves back and celebrate the hospitality industry, after those involved in it had to fight to survive during the pandemic. One of our new categories for this year is Covid success story, to honour businesses and individuals who had to adapt to keep things going or successfully launch new ventures during testing times.
