Modern new look to sea front

In the relamping and revitalising programme for our street lights in South Tyneside, Balfour Beatty and South Tyneside Council have introduced a very modernising look to the sea front in South Shields. As part of the £63m contract new lamp standards with eco friendly energy saving bulbs are replacing the older ones. Take a look at the new look that has been introduced in the stretch from the Sea Hotel to Ghandi’s Temple, the design is really great, I love it. The lamp standards have a pronounced tapered curve to them with a much smaller lamp holder at the top, a very modernistic design indeed.

I didn’t have a camera with me when I passed by earlier this morning but I’ll produce a picture later in the day, I think you will like the look of the area, it’s very imaginative, should look great when both sides of the roads are finished.
