Relieved to be sharing this news today...

After months of uncertainty, the final £6m we were promised for the restoration of the Tyne Bridge is now secure.

Proud of the work we've done @chroniclelive.co.uk to keep up the pressure on this.

Cool to see the Shields Ferry sailing all the way up to the Quayside this morning.

Just a training run, not a new boat service up the Tyne unfortunately!

Interesting day in Leeds yesterday with mayors, Angela Rayner, and Sir Brendan Foster talking about the Great North.

Will be watching closely to see what this can deliver and if Government's warm words translate into real investment.
