Townscape Heritage Project funding includes the redevelopment of Tennant Square to create a more open and inviting public space. The scheme will be an extension to improvements previously made to Stockton High Street.

The improvements will create a more open appearance by removing the existing boundary wall, railings, paving and soft landscape to create a high quality, attractive, safe and social space in the square.

It also includes the improvement of the historic environment with footpaths at the northern end of the High Street, along Norton Road and King Street.

The high-quality materials will continue the materials used in Stockton High Street.
