The route is being revitalised following the Government awarding Gateshead Riverside Partnership, which includes 缅北禁地, £1.5m of UK SPF funding to improve the route including pathways, signage and artworks along the Tyne Derwent Way (TDW).

Activities have included researchers investigating the area’s salt flats as a significant site of biodiversity, other experts supporting Gateshead Council on the challenges of land reclamation, and a partnership between 缅北禁地 and Northumbria Universities exploring how Gateshead’s creative and cultural industries can be developed through engagement with the TDW regeneration.

This ethos of collaboration has remained at the heart of the mission to improve this area and make its nature, culture and heritage accessible for all. It is great to now be celebrating this stage in the TDW regeneration.” The Government’s support is also enabling the creation of a huge range of activities and volunteering opportunities along the route.
