North Tyneside is a great place to live, work and visit – bordered by the North Sea and River Tyne and including the towns of Wallsend, Whitley Bay, North Shields and Killingworth.
Our population is currently 202,500 and is expected to rise as more people are attracted to live here. Our most recent independent residents’ survey told us that 79 per cent are satisfied with the borough as a place to live and we are committed to making that even higher. We provide excellent education, with 96 per cent of pupils attending a school rated ‘good’ or ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted. We are one of the safest metropolitan boroughs in the country and we take pride in the cleanliness of our streets and award-winning parks and beaches.
