The body that aims to improve Newcastle city centre has launched a bid for a fourth term in office.
NE1 has published a consultation document outlining its plans and priorities for the next five years, with proposals to make the city centre cleaner, greener and safer, as well as staging events that bring people in to spend money at local businesses.
The plans have been presented ahead of a vote in October where city centre businesses will decide whether to continue NE1’s operations. The business improvement district operates with a levy taken from firms in the NE1 postcode, with the money raised going to city centre improvement schemes.
