Regeneration plans
The Council has a vision for Hebburn which includes quality new homes, shopping and community facilities.
The Council has invested £13million in the development of Hebburn Central, a hub which has acted as a catalyst to secure private sector interest and funding.
Hebburn Central
Hebburn Central opened in 2015.
Find out more about this world-class building at the heart of Hebburn, offering a gym, exercise and fitness classes, two pools and a state of the art library:

Aldi supermarket
An Aldi supermarket opened in Hebburn town centre in 2018 and is an important part of the regeneration of Hebburn Town Centre.
Opening the store has created new jobs in the Borough, and is helping to create a sustainable future.
Demolition of the old Hebburn Library building
The demolition of the old Hebburn Library building was completed in 2019.
This has created an entrance from Station Road to Hebburn Central.
The current library is in Hebburn Central.
Mountbatten Shopping Centre
The Council installed paving and seats and worked with the private sector owners, who refurbished the shopping centre in 2018.
The refurbishment has improved the retail experience for residents and visitors.
Westmorland Court
The high rise block needed millions of pounds' worth of investment to bring it up to Decent Homes standard and installation of extra fire safety measures.
The demolition was completed in December 2018, and the site was top-soil and seeded in Spring 2019.
Demolition of Hebnac building at Victoria Road West
The building was demolished in August 2021.
The site has been left landscaped to improve the surrounding area.
Hebburn Minewater District Heating Scheme
The Hebburn Minewater District Heating Scheme is one of the first heating schemes in the UK to use mine water to heat Council buildings.
