With the release of a draft masterplan for Wickham this week, questions have arisen about the parking situation.
The masterplan will see Wickham become a central point for the city, as Newcastle City Council edge closer towards a shift from east to west for the centre of the city.
Around 12 hundred new homes and apartments reaching up to 20 stories in Wickham were included in the draft plan, exciting many local residents.
However, the development is likely to worsen the already bad parking situation, with some residents insisting parking in Honeysuckle is for 'locals only'.
The idea of having paid parking only in Wickham has been floated by the council.
However, no decisions have been made and the masterplan is still only a draft.
