Need To Know North EastAvailable for over a year
Most of us would probably agree that it's a good thing that Gateshead Council are cracking on with getting the condemned flyover demolished. In a village nearby people are upset about what's happening to all the waste and rubble from the demolition.

Kay Davidson's has been looking into it and Simon Pryde spoke to some of the people involved.
