Delivering for Hartlepool

When I was fortunate to be elected as the first ever Mayor of the Tees Valley in May 2017, I pledged that I would serve every community that makes up the Tees Valley – including Hartlepool. This means that every one of the five council areas that make our area gets its fair share.

We’re investing your money - taxpayers’ money - so we can build that high growth, high wage, low welfare economy we desperately need. But this shouldn’t be some impossible dream. Just look at our record of delivery on investment in Hartlepool. 

A record of delivery on investment

  • £7.5 million for a new building for CCAD on Church Street 
  • £6 million for Hartlepool Innovation Skills Quarter Phase 1
  • £4.1 million to start work on the Elwick bypass
  • £1.4 million for Hartlepool Centre of Excellence in Technical Training for the Creative Industries
  • £130,000 for Hartlepool College for telecare and electric vehicles courses
  • £499,000 National Museum of the Royal Navy Phase 1
  • £10 million Indigenous Growth Fund

Project Pipeline for Hartlepool

We also have an exciting pipeline of projects in Hartlepool that we are looking to fund.

  • Hartlepool Energy Life-Cycle Centre
  • Hartlepool Innovation & Skills Quarter Phase 2
  • Hartlepool Waterfront
  • A689 Wynyard Improvements
  • Eastern Bypass

Supporting business and individuals

As well as funding large capital projects, we have also provided support and funding to Hartlepool businesses and individuals through a number of dedicated funding pots, these include:

  • £992,000 from the Tees Valley Business Support schemes
  • £769,500 in Business Compass grants
  • £276,000 from our Apprenticeship Grant scheme
  • £978,300 from the Routes to Work scheme – helping over 500 local people back into work
  • £304,700 from the Government’s Access Fund to promote sustainable transport
  • £308,000 from the Government’s National Productivity Grant scheme
  • £1.6 million from the Sustainable Transport Programme
  • £120,000 from the SSI Jobs & Skills Fund
