BEACON CENTRE UPDATE | Traders Move to Bedford Street, North Shields

The Beacon Centre has now closed as construction work gets underway—but what has happened to the businesses that were based there? Taj from the Beacon Centre visits traders who have relocated to new premises on Bedford Street and hears how the move has already brought brighter spaces, increased passing trade and new customers. We also take a first look at the new home of Northumbrian Tin Soldier, with plans for a bar, kitchen and plenty of gaming space. The businesses discuss the investment taking place across North Shields town centre, the importance of supporting local traders and why the town is currently punching above its weight.
