Consett North Partnership has been awarded £11,450 from Derwent Valley Partnership's Improved Local Environment Working Group which has enabled them to secure an additional £49,839 of funding from Community Spaces towards the Blue Heaps Environmental Improvements project. The scheme will see significant access improvements made on the Blue Heaps site, which sits below Aynsley Terrace / The Promenade near the centre of Consett.

As part of the project, the steps will be renewed, making them safer and easier to use for those who use this popular short cut between the centre of town and the park and playing fields.

The Consett North Partnership has been working closely with Groundwork North East to develop this project and are pleased to announce that a contractor will be appointed in the next few weeks to start work over the summer.
