South of Tyne and Wear Local Nature Recovery Strategy

The Defra Secretary of State has appointed Gateshead Council as the 'responsible authority' to lead on preparation of the South of Tyne and Wear Local Nature Recovery Strategy, with South Tyneside Council, Sunderland City Council and Natural England as 'supporting authorities'.

The South of Tyne and Wear Local Nature Recovery Strategy will help coordinate and support nature's recovery across the combined areas of Gateshead, South Tyneside and Sunderland, building on earlier and ongoing action for nature undertaken by the councils, their partners and the public.
