Our region has a phenomenal 2023, with milestone achievements being made across the length and breadth of Teesside, Darlington and Hartlepool. Teesworks has welcomed more investment and steelmaking has been brought back to Teesside with the announcement of British Steel’s Electric Arc Furnace – while remediation and development work continues for multibillion-pound projects. Teesside Airport is being rightly recognised by passengers, businesses and industry as the success we know it is; construction has been completed or accelerated at our major stations; and we’ve launched two huge masterplans to transform Hartlepool and Middlesbrough.
This has all been topped off with fantastic events and celebrations, bringing even more people into our towns and boosting our high streets, with more announced for next year. You can discover all of our achievements in over the past 12 months in the video.
Merry Christmas and a happy New Year – here’s to an even brighter 2024!
