Hasnt the Gateshead arena job been pulled?What I would say about Brexit is that as far as I am aware it has become more difficult to source materials and ensure guaranteed delivery dates, but I also understand that recruitment in the construction industry is becoming quite a problem particularly in the north east.
That coupled with a number of large projects in the north east (Envision gigafactory, Gateshead arena, bank house Newcastle along with other developments in Sunderland and elsewhere) and then the likes of HS2 means a lot of resource is tidied up in long term projects who are all fighting for the same contractors and pushing up prices.
By the time you add that, material and Labour inflation it isn’t looking great for development and construction sector at the moment.
Some parts areet but the majority is a dump especially the town centre.Blyth is a bigger shithole now than it was 15 years ago.

It is, but to be fair a lot the manufacturing companies in the area are already struggling to fill vacancies. Envision will need to employ an additional 700 by 2024. Having a saturated jobs market can have the opposite effect too. If companies aren't attracting people to work for them, they could then consider moving elsewhere. That said the last few days have proven how quickly things can change.Devastating if this ends up not happening.
