A North Tyneside shopping centre could be overhauled to make it more "vibrant" due to a lack of footfall.
The Forum Shopping Centre in Wallsend wants to create a "high-street feel" and demolish the first floor of the multi-storey car park and vacant retail units.
NewRiver Retail Ltd will see a loss of 111 spaces in the first floor car park - which is rarely running at capacity.
