These pages showcase the work of the Newbiggin Borderlands Place Programme.
Our Place Plan for Newbiggin builds on our strategic objectives and priorities. It sets out our 10-year vision for the town’s future as a vibrant and inclusive place to live, learn, work, and invest in. It has been shaped with input from the local community and partners and sets out our priorities to deliver investment and sustainable economic growth in the town. It lays out compelling evidence to attract future funders and investment that will bring about meaningful and sustained change.
We will work with the community and other stakeholders in the town to capture the passion of Newbiggin residents, both young and old, for a prosperous future. We will support the town in becoming a distinctive destination of choice to live, work and visit. Building on the history, heritage and strong arts and cultural offer of the town, Newbiggin will develop its thriving visitor economy throughout the seasons. We will work with housing providers to address the housing needs of the town and will seize opportunities for the town from the digital and green economy. Building on the success of existing independent traders, Newbiggin will retain a strong and resilient high street, creating employment opportunities and finding innovative ways to retain a young workforce.
The Place Partnership Group was established in November 2021. It is made up of representatives from key public, private and community sector organisations.
