Paul,
No, there's a barrier stopping you from getting down in the car but you can still walk down but it is very unsafe down there now, the council put a barrier fence across the bottom but the fishermen just pulled it down so you can get onto the quay.
George,
I think something akin to a stairlift would be better, please.
There was also one of your Hebburn friends asking about you wondering why he hadn't seen you for a while. He said he'll be watching for you next time you're on the river.
