North Tyneside Council reveals design plans for Northern Promenade regeneration

North Tyneside Council has unveiled designs for the regeneration of the Northern Promenade, part of the authority’s £36m Seafront Master Plan.

Redeveloping the seafront stretch from Watts Slope, along Panama Dip and the Rendezvous Cafe area, up to Brierdene - the blueprint includes new surfacing, seating, shelters and other facilities, with the potential to attract new shops and businesses to the area.

The project is being carried in rolling phases by Kier and the first part has seen the area around Watts Slope widened to create a new gateway where people can sit and talk and children can play.

Norma Redfearn, Elected Mayor of North Tyneside, said: “I’m absolutely delighted to see the next stage of the improvements to the Northern Promenade getting underway.

“There will unfortunately be some unavoidable disruption to allow the work to take place but I’m sure the end results will make a really positive difference and breathe new life into this part of the seafront.

“This is a really exciting time with all the other developments taking place as part of our Seafront Master Plan, such as the restoration of the Spanish City, plans to refurbish the lighthouse, the new Premier Inn hotel and much more.”
