A new sports hub will be built on playing fields in Wallsend after the proposal received significant support. North Tyneside councillors have now approved the construction of the sports hub at St Peters Playing Fields, Wallsend.
St Peters will host a single storey hub complete with a pavilion, changing room facilities and a function room. It is hoped locals can make use of new 3G football pitches with flood lighting and 2.5m high fencing. The site will also provide additional parking spaces.
The proposal proved popular, generating 161 comments of support on the council’s planning portal. However, 42 objections were recorded.
