<p>The Innovation and Skills Quarter (ISQ) aims to revitalise Church Street and develop a thriving creative industries quarter based around the Northern School of Art's new campus. The ISQ will strengthen links between the town centre and Hartlepool Waterfront, and provide modern business workspace in a supported incubation facility for creative industries businesses. Major improvements will be made to the environment in Church Street and Church Square, and a new pedestrian crossing will be created in Stockton Street.</p>
