Residents of seven Northumberland towns have been urged to have their say on multi-million pound investment plans.
Alnwick, Bedlington, Newbiggin, Haltwhistle, Bellingham, Prudhoe and Rothbury have been identified as suitable for a ‘Place Plan’, which could ultimately attract up to £3m investment per town, to be spent over the next ten years.
The cash injection is part of the Borderlands Growth Deal, a £450m Government scheme targeting the five local authorities either side of the England-Scotland border. Within this, £50m has been set aside for the initiative’s ‘Place Programme’.
