Olya's Interview

Olya Bowers from Northumberland Terrace recently told us, "I'm from the old Byker. I moved away and came back to Byker two years ago. The Trust gives us a chance to reclaim the old Byker spirit and build the community we used to have. This is our chance - please use your vote and help make it happen!"
