It’s believed Wallsend diggers have been directed to close this afternoon, it’s believed to be Covid related, but this is not confirmed at this stage.
One Facebook user has posted a photo showing Covid cleaners in a near by car park.
I understand the Wallsend Diggers & Mezz Bar has been shut down this afternoon.
