We want to hear your views on community spaces in Byker

Did you know our estate is home to around 70 hobby rooms?

When the estate was first built, architect Ralph Erskine saw the importance of having spaces in the community where people could come together to participate in activities.

Over time, many of these rooms have become vacant. We’re now exploring what’s next for these spaces and would love to hear from our customers about what suggestions you have for the future of our hobby rooms. 

We would like to hear from you what community uses or support services you would like to see, but also if 
you have ideas for businesses or social enterprises. 

We’ve put together a short survey, which you can access here. Alternatively, you can visit our BCT reception at Raby Cross (17 Raby Cross, Byker, NE6 2FF) and the team can fill out the survey on your behalf.
