The Board was established in December 2021. It is made up of representatives from key public, private and community sector organisations.
Bedlington will be a vibrant, growing, connected and inclusive place to live, learn, work, and invest in. The town’s community will have access to outstanding skills and educational opportunities and quality local jobs including the advanced manufacturing, clean energy and renewable energy industry. Bedlington will celebrate, innovate and invest in our key assets to deliver a new and vibrant culture and leisure offer capitalising on our community, workforce, industrial heritage, public spaces and environment.
