Bridging Newcastle Gateshead

About Us

Image Bridging NewcastleGateshead (BNG) is creating great places to live at the heart of NewcastleGateshead.  We are working to provide better quality and choice of housing and we are doing this by improving existing homes, building new homes and getting sites ready for new development to take place.  We are a partnership of Newcastle and Gateshead Councils, One NorthEast, the Homes and Communities Agency, both Local Strategic Partnerships and four independent members including an independent Chair.  Community engagement – listening to and involving residents – is crucial to the success of our programme. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for NewcastleGateshead.
