The People & Places Partnership is working with Proximity Futures on behalf of North Tyneside Council to guide the short-term recovery and revitalisation of Forest Hall over the longer-term. This page provides access to up-to-date resources created as part of this work, as well as links to related guidance.
Surveys seeking local stakeholders’ views
Working on behalf of North Tyneside Council and in association with the local Wallsend Chamber of Commerce, People & Places are conducting stakeholder surveys of local town centre businesses and customers. The survey findings will be used to decide future priorities that help local people and businesses get more out of their town centre. The findings will be discussed widely with local community groups and businesses as part of deciding future priorities for the town centre.
Local businesses have until Sunday April 5th to complete the Forest Hall business survey. The Forest Hall users’ survey will remain open for responses until Monday April 12th.
