Telecommunications experts have surveyed Newcastle and North Tyneside for the first time to comprehensively map out the region’s mobile phone signal coverage and blackspots.
The majority of the region was found to have outdoor coverage from the four major networks, yet in some areas such as Woolsington or where recent developments have taken place to the west and north of Newcastle, signal was more limited.
Indoor coverage followed a similar pattern, however up to 10% of the city was potentially found to have no adequate 4G signal, including parts of Dinnington, North Gosforth, Chapel Park, Lemington, Throckley and West Jesmond.
