Buy Local North Tyneside

The website and associated social media feeds were created by a group of local businesses at the beginning of the pandemic in 2020, with the help of Newcastle Building Society, seed funding from local business chambers and North Tyneside Council. The bulk of funding and resource has been provided by the founding partners and businesses. Why Buy Local North Tyneside? The website has been built for the long term benefit and success of both the residential and business communities from across the whole of North Tyneside. It is not limited to these chamber members and our aim is that the communities of North Tyneside find this site helps to stay safe, stay local and stay connected whilst buying local. Welcome to our digital high street! The website provides a directory of businesses operating in the borough of North Tyneside, so that residents, those in business and visitors can have a simple method of knowing what is available, where and when. We encourage everyone to Buy Local where possible! In particular, we are very keen to assist in the regeneration of our town centres and high streets, which, like those in many towns in the country, have seen a decline in business over the last few years, following the financial crash of 2008 and the many changes in shopping habits since then. So, in addition to being a facility for businesses to raise their profile and for others to find them, you will find information dedicated to the broader aspects and attractions of town centres and high streets; also details of events, heritage sites, parks, walks and other items of interest to the community.
