Here we spotlight just some of what is proposed while also recalling artistic impressions of schemes from yesteryear which did not quite happen – yet.

2. Church Street
HDC's work is aimed at complementing planned improvements after Hartlepool Borough Council was awarded £16.5m of Levelling Up money to regenerate Church Street by supporting the new Northern Film and TV Studios. Photo: Other 3rd Party
