A series of new surveys has been launched to give local local businesses a say in determining the future priorities for recovery and revitalisation of North Tyneside’s town centres.

The surveys are being carried out by town centre experts from the People & Places Partnership and have been commissioned by North Tyneside Council in conjunction North Tyneside Business Forum and the local Chambers of Trade.

The survey findings will be used to decide future priorities to help local people and businesses get more out of their town centre.The findings will be discussed widely with local community groups and businesses.

Businesses based in the following four town and local centres can now complete their local survey using the links below:

• Whitley Bay town centre business survey
• Tynemouth town centre business survey
• North Shields town centre business survey
• Fish Quay business survey

Surveys for Wallsend and Forest Hall will be issued shortly.
