Please meet our Green Street Newcastle Pioneers.
The Green Street Pioneers Newcastle initiative is a programme dedicated to helping businesses become more environmentally sustainable. We’re working with 25 independent retail and hospitality businesses in the heart of Newcastle East in collaboration with BIPC Newcastle to help them become greener and build a sustainable community.
These businesses are all committed to making their business more sustainable and offering a more planet-friendly experience for their customers. When they have signed up to the manifesto below they will display the Green Street-branded window sticker, so that customers can more easily choose to support planet-friendly businesses.
The Green Street Pioneers initiative is proudly supported by the Newcastle East High Streets Programme, funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. The North of Tyne Combined Authority is leading the way in making this happen.
