Regeneration plans
There's lots of exciting regeneration activity planned for Jarrow in the future.
The town has recently received a ten year £20 million investment from the government's Long-Term Plan for Town funding programme.
The Council will be working closely with local community members to create a plan for the town. This will be managed by a new town board.
For more information, please see Jarrow Town Board.
Recent regeneration projects
Below are some examples of recent projects in Jarrow.
Jarrow Focus
Jarrow Focus opened at the beginning of 2019.
It boasts:
- a redesigned gym
- sports hall
- dance studio
- theatre

Viking Shopping Centre
The Viking Shopping Centre, in the heart of Jarrow, demonstrates public and private sectors working together in partnership.
The Council supports private sector investment to make sure the town is the best it can be, providing an excellent offer to residents, workers and visitors.
The Viking Energy Network
Jarrow is leading the way in renewable energy schemes.
The Viking Energy Network is a cutting-edge, multi-million-pound scheme that will be the first of its kind in the UK.
It will harness heat from the River Tyne and export it to a network of Council and community buildings.
It will help to save around half a million pounds in fuel costs per year.
