Gateshead Council has got together with the other councils in Tyne and Wear to develop an easy way for everyone to access a range of Council and related services.
Over 40 public information points, known as 'i+Points' have been placed around Tyne and Wear, all offering free and easy access to Gateshead Council services.
Cityspace provides its 'Streetnet' WiFi wireless internet service at a number of the kiosks. Kiosks with Streetnet are indicated with a '#'. This service is independent of the Council.
12 kiosks are located in Gateshead:
-
Inside Gateshead Leisure Centre, Prince Consort Road
-
Inside Gateshead Stadium
-
Outside Iceland, West Street, adjacent to Trinity Square and Metro Interchange#
-
Coatsworth Road, Bensham
