Developing Insight Series informs the future of Teesside’s town centres
07 Jun 2023Lichfields, alongside Square One Law and Turner & Townsend, provided a Developing Insight Series seminar on the future of Teesside’s town centres at Acklam Hall in Middlesbrough.
Following an introduction from Square One Law’s Head of Property Michael Shuker, Lichfields’ Senior Director Jonathan Wallace updated the well-attended event on the Government’s funding for town centres across Teesside.
The seminar also featured industry leading guest speakers. Cathy Russell, Urban Design Director at Ryder Architecture, discussed how town centre change is being delivered in practice, while Dr. Angela Brockbank, from Thirteen Group, provided insight on Thirteen’s programme for investment in residential development in town centres.
Wrapping up proceedings Jamie Graham Associate Director at Turner & Townsend hosted a lively question & answer session.
As we emerge out of a challenging period, it is important to recognise the huge importance and potential of our town centres. On Teesside, the public sector is leading the way through a series of bold interventions, and hopefully this will pave the way for further private sector investment into our centres to maintain the momentum and continue their ongoing transformation at the heart of local communities.
Jonathan Wallace, Senior Director
