However, it was felt that better parks and entertainment was required for teenagers. A majority of respondents felt that beautification (i.e. cleaner streets, building paint works) were required to make the local economy stronger and to create more jobs. Further, some respondents felt that more retail shops were required having less of a focus on welfare and second-hand goods. Entertainment was also highlighted as a main focus for a stronger economy. A stronger police presence with emphasis on vandalism, assaults and shop-lifting was also mentioned. Some respondents felt that a strategic interaction between the main street and the plaza was needed. Further, more car-parking and improved drainage to the area was a further concern for making the local economy stronger. Finally, better promotion/advertising was also mentioned. Similar to above many respondents felt that the main changes they would like to see to improve the area in Wallsend were reduced crime, a larger variety of service businesses to the main street, and beautification. Increased parking was also a concern, and a change from welfare, op-shop focus to retail/business culture.
