Gateshead stadium revamp approved
Plans for the redevelopment of Gateshead International Stadium, Tyne and Wear, have been given the green light by the local authority.
Gateshead Council has approved proposals to improve the stadium's facilities, which has become one of the top athletics venues in Britain over the past three decades. All of the venue's spectator seating will be replaced and brought undercover as part of the scheme, while new media and hospitality facilities will be created.
The redevelopment plans coincide with a scheme to create a new sports village on land adjacent to the stadium, as well as a £29m investment in Gateshead's leisure centres. Linda Green, the council's cabinet member for culture, said: "This latest work will ensure that the stadium continues to attract great events but will also provide new facilities that local people can take advantage of."
