§ Mr. SoleyTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) what proposals he has to involve the community of the Meadow Well estate in north Tyneside with the future development of the estate;
(2) what conclusions he has drawn from the feasibility study carried out by residents of the Meadow Well estate in north Tyneside and sent to him in April; and what decisions he intends to take.
§ Sir George YoungMembers of the Department's regional office participate in a multi-agency group, under the aegis of the Tyne and Wear city action team, which is looking at the feasibility of a co-ordinated approach to the regeneration of the Meadow Well estate. Consultation with the residents of the estate is an essential feature of the group's work. The report prepared by the residents' working group is an important contribution to the development of an economic and social strategy for the estate and the study team will take it into account in framing its recommendations. The multi-agency group is meeting the Meadow Well action group on 7 June 1991 for a presentation of the Collingwood centre report and to discuss its proposals. North Tyneside borough council is currently carrying out consultation with residents on options for tackling the housing problems of south Meadow Well, as part of the wider strategy.
