Major study into regeneration of troubled Tyneside shipyard

A major study is to be carried out to explore future options for troubled Tyneside shipyard Swan Hunter.

A working group set up to redevelop the site, on the north bank of the River Tyne, met for the first time on Thursday.

North Tyneside Council and Newcastle City Council are working with site owner Jaap Krose and regional development agency One North East to come up with ideas to regenerate the area.
