The campaign works alongside Middlesbrough Council’s ‘Middlesbrough Promise.’ Key Middlesbrough Reads campaign activity in 2018 Pop-up literacy shop – February and April The Middlesbrough Hub hosted a ‘pop-up story shop’ at the Hillstreet Shopping Centre to encourage more families in the town to read together. Over 600 free books were handed out and children were treated to storytelling sessions from local author Chris Callaghan. World Book Day celebrations with Grand Central rail – March Pupils from Park End Primary School marked World Book Day by taking a literacy-themed train journey with Grand Central to York, where they saw Tim Peake’s historic space capsule at the National Railway Museum. The pupils each received a free space-themed WBD books to encourage reading for pleasure. Summer Reading Challenge Middlesbrough Reads supported the Reading Agency’s Summer Reading Challenge, to encourage children to read up to six books over the Summer. North Ormesby Academy was the most actively involved school this year. Sing with me - November To mark World Nursery Rhyme Week, Middlesbrough Reads began working with the Stronger Families School Readiness team to promote the benefits of singing to newborn babies. A set of Sing With Me booklets were produced to remind parents of the importance of sharing songs and rhymes with babies, and reacquaint them with some of the most familiar nursery rhymes.

Unnoticed imperfections that made the virtual actual: that turned plastic-like into skin-like, toy-like into human-like, ice cream swirl into a graying and aging head of hair. The unseen grit in the carpet that makes sure you know you aren't hoovering for nothing. Not any old dust and grime of course. The dirt had to beef-up the gameplay, the narrative potential, the sense of being there in the game, video game that is, the virtual reality, the artificial world it was intended for. This was designer dirt, not true grit; and it was good business. He was a real specialist, a grime consultant, ever finding new ways to make-under a building, a car, a street, hi-fi or sink: reversing the facelift of yesteryear: taking anything from virtual perfection and simplicity to the complexity and ambiguity of reality, real life, RL.

  • Middlesbrough Riverside Stadium
    2019-20 Away Visitor Guide Middlesbrough Riverside Stadium Capacity: 34,742 (all seated) Address: Middlesbrough, Cleveland, TS3 6RS Telephone: 01642 757640 Fax: 01642 757 690 Ticket Office: 0844 499 1234 Club nickname: Boro Year ground opened: 1995 What is the Riverside Stadium like? Middlesbrough’s home since their move from Ayresome Park and the first modern English stadium to be constructed after the Taylor Report, the Riverside Stadium is totally enclosed after the previous open corners to either side of the West Stand were filled in with seating in 1998. All the stands are two-tiered, with the main one being the West Stand which is slightly larger than the others. Away supporters are housed on one side of the East Stand (towards the South East corner) at one side of the stadium, where just under 3,000 fans can be accommodated and entrance is gained via electronic turnstiles. Food on offer includes the local favourite ‘Parmo in a bun’ – consisting of chicken in breadcrumbs, creamy sauce and cheese – as well as burgers, hot dogs, pizza, pasties and pies. Directions The Riverside Stadium is quite easy to find. Exiting the A1(M) at Junction 49 towards the A168 and continuing onto the A19, join and follow the A66 (signposted Teesside from the A1) passing Darlington FC’s former ground and on into Middlesbrough. Carry on up the A66 through the centre of Middlesbrough and you will pick up signs for the Riverside Stadium. Car parking There is a small amount of parking available at the stadium in Car Park E, where it costs £6 per car and spaces can be booked through the ticket office.

  • Local Response As a Consequence of the Tragic
    EXECUTIVE MEMBER REPORT TO COUNCIL Wednesday 26th July 2017 Grenfell Tower – local response As a consequence of the tragic, and completely avoidable, events at Grenfell Tower on 14 June 2017, Middlesbrough Council has been working with Thirteen Group, Cleveland Fire Authority, and others to compile a database of all tall buildings in Middlesbrough – and check whether any are clad in ACM (Aluminium Composite Material). At my instigation, this working arrangement has been formalised as a Task and Finish Group comprising of Middlesbrough Council, Thirteen, Coast and Country, and the Cleveland Fire Service. Although the government recommendation was to check all buildings over 18m high, we have decided to explore all buildings over 4 storeys, comprising of public and private buildings, to establish the nature of external materials used, and what fire safety measures are in place. All high rise tower blocks owned by Thirteen have underwent necessary checks and have been confirmed as not being clad in ACM. Fire and safety regulations have been assessed, and tenants have been – or are in the process of being – spoken to on an individual, face-to-face basis. Any issues are being resolved as this process goes on. We will continue to work with Thirteen, other Residential Social Landlords (RSLs), and all private developers. Concerns have also been raised by residents regarding the extensive programme of external wall insulation that was undertaken on a significant number of terraced properties in Middlesbrough. This is a different product from ACM, and the materials and construction methods use pose a low risk. This is supported by the views of Cleveland Fire Brigade.
