Consultation

Throughout the process of developing Energising Blyth we will be seeking the views of residents, businesses and other key stakeholders.

Town deal

Blyth now has a fully establish Town Deal Board and has submitted it’s £25 million Town Investment Plan to the Government.

Heart of Blyth

The Heart of Blyth project is bidding for funding from the Health Foundation to take more action to create a stronger community.

Northern Gateway (Phase 1)

Using £750,000 of additional Town Deal funding from MHCLG along with funding from Northumberland County Council and Blyth Town Council, this will deliver improvements to Bowes Street, Church Street and Wanley Street.

Market place

Funding has now been secured through the Future High Street Fund for the reconfigured Market Place with Creative Culture Space. This will be a vibrant place for people of all ages to meet, mix and engage in cultural activities, creating an attractor in the town centre, delivered by 2024.
