Plans to finally transform Gateshead town centre have been handed over.
(Sourced from the Journal.)
After years of delays a £150m project is to start work with the final demolition of the Get Carter car park in the town centre this month.
Gateshead Council has received the formal planning application from Tesco which will see a new town square, 45 retail units, offices, a student village with over 900 beds, town centre parking and a Tesco store as well as the potential for a hotel.
The supermarket’s developers Spenhill say the rebuilt town centre will include new bars and restaurants, a Tesco Extra superstore and around 700 parking spaces.
The news came as question marks continue to hang over regeneration schemes across the North East because of the current economic uncertainty.
