The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what plans she has to regenerate (a) town centres and (b) high streets in Cramlington and Killingworth constituency.

Answered by Jim McMahon

This Government is committed to working with local partners to deliver economic growth and have asked the North East Combined Authority to draw up a local growth plan. We will support these plans by transferring more powers and responsibility to local leaders. The Mayor and Combined Authority are best suited to lead regeneration plans for the areas, with an in-depth knowledge of the opportunities and constraints of both Cramlington and Killingworth constituency and the wider North East.
