Ashington is to benefit from millions of pounds in Government funding that will go towards making "transformational" improvements for the town centre.
The cash was included as part of Wednesday's Government budget, with over £16m made available to support regeneration in the town and invest in infrastructure to improve everyday life for people in Ashington.
Funding will be used to support major new projects to boost the town centre including leisure, culture and community facilities at Wansbeck Square and Portland Park.
