Gateshead's population increases again

For the second year running, Gateshead borough has shown a small increase in population (after so many years of decline).
Councillor Mick Henry, Leader of the Council, claims that this is "...a welcome sign that the population decline has stopped and is in fact beginning to reverse". "The reason for the change appears to be an increase in people moving into Gateshead..."
The current population figure for Gateshead borough is 191, 300.
