Project Description:
This project is centered upon the strategic importance of Darlington’s
role as the main ‘gateway’ to the Tees Valley. The
aim is to take an integrated approach to maximizing the physical
opportunities presented by the gateway as well as supporting and
developing the human resources capable of providing significant
and sustained economic growth across the Tees Valley.
In order to
fulfill the ‘gateway’ role to the full
economic benefit of the Tees Valley, the project aims to address
a combination of key areas for improvement and development with
a range of activities.
The main activities to be undertaken in 2004 to 2007 will include:
- Development
of managed workspace at Morton Palms
- Physical development of
Darlington town centre
- Physical improvements to entry and exit
points and corridors
- Development of land at Faverdale for industrial
use
- Curriculum development linked to growth industries
The programme
of activities is driven by the Darlington Gateway Development
Plan, linking with a wide range of local strategies and corporate
plans such as the Community Strategy, Town Centre Development
Strategy, Local Transport Plan and the Economic Regeneration
Strategy, building on solutions grounded in widespread research
and consultation such as the Town Centre Access Study, Economic
Development Study and the Economic Assessment Study.
Lead Organisation (underlined) and Key Partners:
