New plans for Captain Cook Square.

Centralising the leisure/pubs/restaurants is going to be the way forward for lots of high streets now, no point having the small amount of places left open spread out over a large area.
 
If the “activist and musician” just interviewed on Tyne Tees news gets his way it won’t be called Captain Cook Square any more.
 
"And we’ve got the interest from the investors and operators."

Lets hope they are more interested than his investors in the Ski Slope and the office block he was going to deliver us.
 
Presumably this is where the money is coming from. I wonder where the Housing will be?

Future High Streets Fund​

Middlesbrough’s £14.1 million allocation from the Future High Streets Fund will help to boost the town’s population and create a regional leisure hub.

The Council’s bid envisaged 650 new town centre homes for around 1,500 residents, with retail space converted to ensure the town has the right mix to attract footfall and spending.

Investment will also be channelled to key projects including the old Town Hall, the Captain Cook pub, the new Southlands Centre and Captain Cook Square.

Mayor Preston said: “We’ve just been through the toughest year in living memory, but we’re still standing, and still looking to the future with confidence and boundless ambition.

“And we’re certainly not standing still – the roll-out of the coronavirus vaccine means there’s finally light at the end of the tunnel, and we will do everything we can to get life back to normal as soon as possible.

“Despite the pandemic we were able to push ahead with our ambitious regeneration programme right through 2020, and amazing things will be happening right across 2021 too.

“They’re all about creating jobs and prosperity, and building a great place to live – the impact will be immense, and will deliver benefits for decades to come.”
