Whitley Bay has been named as the best place to live in the North of England, after the Times' annual list commended the seaside town on its stunning beach and the transformation of Park View, which is now one of the best independent shopping streets in the country.
Many in the North East would already be aware of Whitley Bay and how fantastic a place it is, however this kind of recognition on a national level should open the eyes of more people around the country to how great the North East coastline is.
So who better to speak to about the success of Whitley Bay than the people who live and work in the North Tyneside town, as they will know the most about the place, as well as feeling the most pride that it is getting the attention that it deserves.
