A shop keeper and his son feel they are being squeezed out of Gateshead High Street
A shop keeper and his son feel they are being squeezed out of Gateshead High Street.
George and Ian Murray have sold cookers and washing machines on the once thriving shopping street for over 40 years, but they say they re being offered only a fraction of what their property is worth by the council.
They ve been told they will receive £ 45, 000 if they sell it to Gateshead Council who want to knock it down for housing.
But Ian, 53, said thats unfair as the council bought The Shed next door for £ 451, 000, number 191 the High Street for £ 270, 000, and two properties next door for £ 170, 000.
Gateshead High Street. 3rd August 1998
