What We Do

On the 30 June 2020 NTCA was awarded £24m of Government funding to allow local authorities to target additional investment towards brownfield sites requiring intervention. 

This funding will support the delivery of up to 2,500 additional homes in the North of Tyne area on brownfield land by 2025. 

Government has selected the North East as one of 8 national trial areas to receive a share of the £4 million Digital Connectivity Infrastructure Accelerator. It will fund the Future Connectivity Partnership, led by the NTCA to boost vital 4G/5G connectivity in the region.

The Northumberland Line Economic Corridor spans the North of Tyne’s three Local Authority areas, connecting our people to key innovation and employment assets within Newcastle City Centre, our housing sites and business parks in North Tyneside, and the towns and places and growing ‘green economy’ cluster in South East Northumberland.

The Tyne has the innovative minds and forward-thinkers to test, build and power new technologies. It has the skills, the commitment and the pure graft to be a driving force in building a new, zero carbon future. Together, the Tyne’s businesses are powering offshore and energy innovation.
