The People & Places Partnership has been working with Proximity Futures on behalf of North Tyneside Council to guide the short-term recovery and revitalisation of Tynemouth village centre 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 Business Chamber, People & Places conducted stakeholder surveys of local town centre businesses and customers. The survey findings are being used to decide future priorities that will help local people and businesses get more out of their village centre. The findings will be discussed widely with local community groups and businesses as part of deciding future priorities for the village centre.
The local business survey received 68 detailed responses from village centre traders. The Tynemouth village centre users surveys received 187 responses from customers who are very familiar with the village centre.
