Whitley Bay, famous for its glorious beaches and family holidays of yesteryear,has suffered from a lack of direction, and investment, for many years. To its credit, North Tyneside Council has tried extremely hard to reach a consensus on a way forward, but without success. There is now a proposal from a number of community groups to provide a sustainable solution, involving Mind Sports and the Dramatic Arts, drawing visitors to the town and regenerating the local economy.
To date, North Tyneside Council have given partial consideration to this proposal - we urge them to go further, and if necessary work with Culture Quarter to realise this dynamic vision and regenerate Whitley Bay.
