As part of the 2022/23 budget, Newcastle City Council is investing a further £1.2m to enhance cleaning and maintenance programmes across the city.
Cllr Ged Bell, the cabinet member for development, neighbourhoods and transport, said: “Our brilliant neighbourhoods are a top priority for us and we know residents take great pride in where they live in the city. We want to keep our neighbourhoods safe, clean, and green so that’s why we are investing in their future.
“Neighbourhoods should be places where residents can socialise and exercise, children can play out and walk or cycle to school and where everyone feels safe. The funding will help improve the look of our neighbourhoods and continue to make our city such a great place to live.”
