Whitley Bay's landmark Spanish City dome to be repairedpublished at 14:56 British Summer Time 19 April 2022
Repair works are to be carried out on the statues on the famous Spanish City dome following winter storm damage.
Scaffolding will be put up around the statue tower around the Dancing Ladies statues as engineers assess the damage.
North Tyneside Council said the statues known as the Dancing Cymbal Girl and Tambourine Girl remain intact, but repairs are likely to be needed on the Dancing Cymbal Girl statue to ensure it is safe. Work is due to start on 16 May.
Both statues have been on top of the famous dome since it was opened 112 years ago and were recently reconditioned and placed back up as part of the council's major restoration of the Spanish City in 2018.
Mark Longstaff, the council's director of commissioning and asset management, said: "We plan for the initial assessment and repair works to take approximately 10 days to complete."
