Blyth Town Centre Regeneration

Location: Blyth, Northumberland
Client: Northumberland County Council
Status: Ongoing

Project Description:

In autumn 2019 Blyth was announced as one of the 101 places selected to create a Town Deal to access up to £25 million through from the UK government’s £3.6 billion Towns Fund. The fund aims to support urban regeneration in towns through investment, strengthening cultural assets, supporting skills and business development for local people and businesses, and improving local transport and digital connectivity.

Positive and dramatic change on Blyth’s high street, quayside and other industrial zones and community areas will draw the community, visitors, industry and investors into the centre, fulfilling its considerable potential to renew, grow, and connect as an international hub for clean growth industry. Together, the interventions planned will make life better for people, communities and businesses and help Blyth reach its full potential.

The scheme looks to provide transformational change across the macro and micro level helping connect Blyth to local city centres as well as developing key sites within the town.
