Scotswood to North Brunton - Highways Englandassets.highwaysengland.co.uk/roads/road-projects/A1...Thursday 25 October 3pm – 7pm Newcastle Great Park, Park and Ride, NE13 9NR Friday

Since the events we held last summer, we have been working on developing the preliminary design for the scheme. We have now completed our assessments regarding traffic, environmental and other aspects and will be holding another series of public engagement events to update you.

This time, we will be using an exhibition van in six venues, from Scotswood to North Brunton giving you the chance to speak to the team and ask questions about the scheme.

Nitrogen Dioxide is a reddish brown gas with the chemical formula NO².

This gas is measured in µg/m³ (micrograms per cubic meters of air) by air monitoring equipment.

NO² is a poisonous gas that is formed when fuel is burnt, in high concentrations NO² is bad for your lungs and can effect your breathing.

What is a receptor?

We’ve analysed current information from 281 significant locations (receptors) along the A1 which helps us to predict how air quality will change when the scheme is finished.

The aim of the project is to adapt an existing pond to the east of the A696 to reduce the effect of the drainage from the road (attenuate), improving water quality and reducing peak flood flows in the Ouseburn.

Hadrian’s Wall trail and site improvements

The aim is to reconnect local people and regional visitors with the remains of the wall in Newcastle, through an innovative blend of interpretation boards, improved signs, installations, panoramas and improvement of the surviving sites to create a trail through the western suburbs of Newcastle that follows Hadrian’s Wall.

Shibdon Meadow and Shibdon Pond

Designs have been produced to propose improvements that significantly increase/improve opportunities for a broad range of priority species including breeding and wintering waders (including curlew, lapwing & redshank), amphibians (including common toad) and otter.

Newcastle Great Park Wetland

Wetland is an area of marsh or swamp which is saturated with water. For the outfall of the highway drainage north of the Ouseburn if the wetland is brought back into use the flows will not discharge straight into the Ouseburn and will instead flow through a series of wetlands before discharging to the Ouseburn. The benefits of this include reducing flood risk, improving water quality and enhancing biodiversity.
