Funding boost for Shields Ferry landing
The Chronicle
|July 24, 2025
A MULTI-MILLION pound cash boost for the new landing for the Shields Ferry has been approved.
-
Fears for the future of the beloved ferry crossing were raised after it emerged that the current landing in North Shields was no longer fit for purpose.
A £14.6m funding package to build the new facility was agreed last summer.
However, on Tuesday, the North East Combined Authority (NECA) was forced to approve another £5.9m amid rising costs.
The money has been allocated from the £1.85bn transport investment from central Government.
Speaking at Tuesday's meeting of the NECA cabinet, North East mayor Kim McGuinness said the money would “fully safeguard” the ferry.
