North Tyneside residents have hit out at the council for "wasting" £26,000 on a digital rebrand - including a new logo.
A freedom of information request to North Tyneside Council has revealed the authority has splashed out £26,000 on overhauling its website which it says will "create a sense of identity and pride for our borough".
However, disgruntled residents have expressed their dismay at the investment, stating the cash would have been better spent elsewhere. This includes the area's roads and pavements which have been deemed to be in a "terrible state".
