All the shops in this block have closed and the buildings are deteriorating quickly, and badly. Assume that at some time this will be demolished for some development, but no indications yet what it will be, or when. Shields Rd is a struggling urban community that mainly serves people living in Byker and Heaton, for the sake of the other business's along the rd the sooner this can be progressed the better.
