Project Description:
This project builds on work already undertaken as part of the South
Tees Strategy and reinforces site development investment undertaken
by One NorthEast in this key site. The South Tees Strategy envisages
a greatly improved business environment, in which businesses
in key sectors appropriate to the areas existing and emerging
economic base can thrive (i.e. renewables, port related, freight
and logistics, general industry and the motorsports sector).
The strategy seeks to address issues from removing blight and
assembling sites through to security and environmental improvements.
The progression of the strategy has led to the formation of an
active South Tees Business Forum, which acts as a consultative
body and helps shape the strategy as it evolves. An NRF bid has
also been submitted to run alongside this project. The NRF project
will provide a dedicated resource in the area to tackle environmental
maintenance, fly tipping etc., as well as staff to support the
South Tees Business Forum and its activities.
In developing this strategy, the following key activities have
been identified as priorities: security improvements, lighting,
signage, land acquisition, infrastructure provision and environmental
improvements to the public and private realm.
This project will also involve the reclamation of up to 46 hectares
of brownfield land, and the subsequent provision of infrastructure
to a key site with river frontage. These physical works will help
facilitate the development of the Eco Park concept, linking into
the Renew Tees Valley project.
In addition, it will include provision
of new workspace for SMEs.
