South Shields regeneration: Riverside

South Shields Riverside is a priority regeneration area that offers significant opportunity for high quality commercial and residential development.

The area runs from Harton Quays Park in the north, through to the former Commercial Hotel site in the south.

It is critical to realising the Council's ambition of a rejuvenated South Shields that benefits its residents, businesses and visitors.

We're continuing to develop regeneration schemes to transform South Shields riverside, creating hundreds of jobs and attracting millions of pounds of private investment.

These include:

Holborn

A mixed-use development which will transform former industrial land into a desirable location for residents and visitors.

This development will strengthen the link between the riverside and the town centre.

For more information, see Holborn.

Trinity South

The project:

• replaced delapidated former retail units
• improved the setting of the Frederick Street shopping district through new public realm

• Improve links with town centre
• Improve and encourage access to the waterfront
• Make sure new housing is of a high quality, attractive to families and meets the needs of existing and future residents
• Capture additional spend into the Town Centre from new developments
• Create high quality employment space to help grow the economy
