Newcastle Light Rail Construction Claims Another Victim

BY IAN CROUCH

The Light Rail construction in the CBD is being blamed for the closure of another Newcastle business.

The owners of the Tuff N Up Boxing Gym in Beresford Street, Newcastle West have posted a photo of a notice of Facebook advising customers they've been forced to close after 20 years.

Owner, Peter Hallett has told NBN News the loss of parking has caused a 70 percent drop in business.

"We've decided we've had to call it a day because it's just no longer financially viable due to the parking and the construction that's going on," he said.
