The Opportunity
With an ambitious, people first approach to transform a once industrial area and reconnect and create new neighbourhoods within the town centre, the area continues to see record levels of private and public sector backing to reshape the location and to strengthen the connections between people and their community.
This is a comprehensive investment opportunity which involves capital into diverse projects, ranging from the redevelopment of underutilised spaces and enhancement of public realms to the creation of new commercial areas. Investment into the masterplan will not only improve the town’s infrastructure and aesthetics but also stimulate economic growth and enhance quality of life for local residents.
The projects within the South Shields masterplan seek to diversify the town’s core by integrating public, commercial and educational spaces, revitalising key areas to boost attractiveness and functionality. The opportunity builds on the £56m relocation of South Tyneside FE College and Marine School to the heart of the town centre. This will result in circa 9,000 students and 300 staff using the facility resulting in a significant increase in footfall. The opportunity to redevelop the Mill Dam area to create a more engaging and vibrant public space, alongside the King Street projects will enhance accessibility within the Town Centre. The overarching goal of the wide initiative is to foster a dynamic community atmosphere, stimulate local business growth, and create a sustainable, inviting urban environment that caters to the needs of residents and businesses.
