Delivering for Middlesbrough

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 Middlesbrough. 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 Middlesbrough.

  • £320,000 Radio 1 Big Weekend 
  • £20 million for Middlesbrough Station
  • £3 million for the Materials Processing Institute
  • £4 million for Middlehaven Dock Bridge 
  • £20 million for Boho NextGen
  • £10  million for TeesAMP Site Remediation
  • £250,000 for the Snow Centre
  • £50,000 for TWI research centre
  • £580,000 for Northern School of Arts (CCAD)

Project pipeline for Middlesbrough

We also have an exciting pipeline of projects in Middlesbrough that we will fund.
