Gateshead may very well gain city status in its own right. If the Gateshead proposal is successful, where will that leave Newcastle?

Newcastle has the airport, but Gateshead is only a metro ride away.

Its about the the 2 areas dont be so short sighted yes Newcastle is the city we understand its the biggest part of it but Gateshead has a lot to offer so think about it as a whole because its Gateshead that has the sage the millenium bridge the angel the metro centre the baltic the international stadium the best victorian park in britain

A commendable film, but PLEASE drop the Newcastle Gateshead title, it's Newcastle that has the geographic understanding around the world, let's not confuse the message with political need.
