On 25 February 2025, Station Development Ltd said the mural could be put back up at Tynemouth Metro station.
But on the same day, a representative from the group emailed the council to say its shareholders had changed their minds.
“They have concerns that matters are still volatile in the West Bank, Gaza and Isreal [sic],” they wrote.
The representative asked if they could “jointly monitor events” and make a decision at a later date.
The council then asked the station owners on behalf of the mural’s restoration group multiple times whether they would meet to discuss the reinstatement of the artwork at the station.
The station owners promised a response but did not send one.
North Tyneside Council confirmed the last correspondence it received from Station Development Ltd about the mural was in April 2025.
The local authority said it was now working “as quickly as possible” to install the mural at the White Swan Centre.
