Two of Whitley Bay's most iconic landmarks, the Spanish City's 'dancing ladies', could be replaced, with the original copper statues being placed into a glamorous semi-retirement.
The dancing sculptures atop the Spanish city had to be taken down after one of the figures suffered damage from "significant storms between November 2021 and February 2022". Now the council is seeking permission from its planning department to replace the original dancing couple with fibreglass replicas.
It is proposed that the original figurines will be installed inside the Spanish City's entrance foyer, greeting guests as they enter.
