1 Executive Member Report to Council Wednesday 5Th EXECUTIVE MEMBER REPORT TO COUNCIL WEDNESDAY 5TH DECEMBER 2012 DEVELOPMENT DIVISION 1. Grove Hill – second new scheme approved - the planning application from Erimus for development of the former Marton Grove School site was approved on 20 September. This provided for 44 new dwellings on the site for sale and rent. This will mean the second new housing scheme will now commence as part of the areas for regeneration. 2. £5.5m Investment in Grove Hill - the Council and Erimus Housing have entered into an innovative Joint Venture (JV) agreement that has generated an investment fund of £5.5m to progress the redevelopment of the Grove Hill area. The first priority of the funding will be to complete the acquisition of the private properties in the area that had stalled as a consequence of the Government funding cuts. Further priorities for the fund will be agreed by Executive Member and Erimus.. 3. Grey Towers and Rose Cottage Housing sites - the planning permission for development of the Grey Towers Farm and Rose Cottage Housing sites have been issued. This followed the protracted consideration of the proposal by the Highways Agency. Grey Towers was also subject to the Secretary of State requiring further information. Subsequently, it was confirmed by the Government that the Council could issue the decision. 4. The remaining planning applications for the developments in south Middlesbrough are: a) Stainsby Hall Farm, Brookfield (343 houses); b) Cleveland Police Headquarters site, Ladgate Lane (outline for residential developments; c) Hemlington Grange (new Police Headquarters); d) Low Lane, Brookfield (77 houses) 5. These planning applications remain outstanding but the decisions are imminent, pending the completion of the legal agreement (Section 106) which would be attached to each of the prospective planning permissions. 6. S.H.A.R.E. (Stopping Hunger And Reducing Environmental waste) - a scheme is being developed in Middlesbrough Town Centre, aimed at rough sleepers, those in insecure housing or households in food poverty. An arrangement is being set up with town centre businesses whereby short shelf life foods, that would be thrown 1 out, are collected by church volunteers at the end of each day. The waste food will be distributed to those in need from a number of outlets, including existing food clubs, local charities for the vulnerable, hostels, supported housing schemes, day centres and refuges. 7. Middlehaven Developer Event - the Council and the Homes & Communities Agency are holding an event on the 22nd November for all perspective developers of the site. The aim is to showcase the site to perspective developers and show that Middlehaven is open for business. The approach will be to encourage further development of the site. 8. RSL Residential Development Sites - the Council is making good progress in the disposal of a number of residential development sites across Middlesbrough. There has been a significant level of interest from national housing developers, local housing developers and local Registered Providers across the sites. This has demonstrated that housing developers have an appetite to develop good quality housing in Middlesbrough, which has built momentum when marketing the sites. Sites that have recently been agreed for sale include: land adjacent to Trimdon Avenue; land south of James Cook University Hospital; the Wave; and, the former Netherfield House site. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, CULTURE AND COMMUNITY REGENERATION 9. Supporting Diversification into Micro Renewables - the Economic Development Team have been working with the National Renewable Energy Centre (Narec) to support local companies looking to explore opportunities in the micro-renewables market. The advice and accredited training helps companies involved in more traditional trades such as plumbing and electrical work to diversify into growing markets around solar panels, biomass boilers etc. 10. Taking DigitalCity Forward – the Council and Teesside University have strengthened their successful DigitalCity partnership, to respond to the challenge of growing the digital sector across the wider Tees Valley over the next three years. A new joint strategy is being developed for DigitalCity Business and DigitalCity Innovation that will see a renewed focus on the development of digital companies capable of rapid growth and significant wealth creation. A more coordinated promotional campaign will also be undertaken to increase the visibility of DigitalCity across the region. 11. Working For Teesside - the Economic Development Team has created 27 additional apprenticeships this year through a programme funded by the Middlesbrough and Teesside Philanthropic Foundation. The programme, which will ultimately provide 40 places when complete, is being delivered alongside the Flexible Support Fund, which will create a further 80 places – particularly among businesses taking on their first apprentices. 12. Back To Work Roadshow - the Economic Development Team has joined up with Redcar and Cleveland Council, eCruited and motivational speaker Des McCabe to host a seminar for unemployed professionals looking to get back into work. The seminar, which will provide support to over 100 jobseekers will focus on issues such as using social media to find work, ways to get your CV to the top of the pile and how to find work that is not advertised. 2 13. Regional Growth Fund Round Three - two Middlesbrough companies were among the successful bidders to the recently announced Regional Growth Fund Round 3. Chemical processing company Chemoxy secured £1.5 million towards a £6 million project that will create 15 new jobs and safeguard 30 others, whilst Magma Global secured £2.8 million of grant towards a £13 million investment in a new oil and gas pipeline manufacturing facility, creating 106 new jobs. In total, over £70 million was secured for Tees Valley, including programmes aimed at providing grant support for growing companies and warranty financing to enable local companies to bid for large contracts in the offshore wind market. 14. Town Centre Performance – footfall reported by the four shopping centres fell in June, July and August. The closure of the bus station was a contributory factor, although concern has been expressed that this has also changed footfall patterns around the town. Looking at footfall over the past years it is now 13.8% down in August 2012 compared to August 2008 with a national decline of just 2.6% nationally and a similar picture in May, June and July. The Mayor is to host a meeting with leading businesses to the town to look at what can be done to address this decline. 15. Town Centre Openings and Closures – TJ Hughes has re-opened its former store in Captain Cook Square. Nearby Internacionale has closed but a new tenant (toy and game retailer) is set to open before Christmas. Meanwhile the JJB store closed. Thomson has moved from Linthorpe Road near McDonalds to the premises adjacent to Café Nero. Yours clothing has opened in the Hill Street Centre, and refurbishment of premises on the Linthorpe Road elevation of the Cleveland Centre for both Diechmann (footwear) and Natwest bank are continuing. 16. Christmas Promotional Campaign – supporting a successful Christmas trading period is essential for the future sustainability of many businesses. The key events include the Christmas Lights Switch on (Thursday 15th November), Reindeer Parade and Community Carnival (Sunday 18th November), Christmas Food & Gift Market (Friday 30th November and Saturday 1st December) together with the Big Sing and Christmas Films. Promotion of the events and the town centre shopping offer will consist of distribution of the brochure to the potential catchment supported by advertising through media partners (radio and newspaper) and reinforced by social media. 17. Loan Sharks - working in partnership with West Middlesbrough Neighbourhood Trust (WMNT), the North Neighbourhood Management team is National Winner of a ‘Stop Loan Sharks’ award for outstanding endeavours to raise awareness of this crime. The Stop Loan Sharks awards are taking place for the first time this year, hosted by the England Illegal Money Lending Team and the Wales Illegal Money Lending Unit, to recognise those who have made a valuable contribution to highlighting the dangers of loan sharks in their communities. Almost 100 submissions were received and Middlesbrough Council and WMNT beat eleven regional winners for national recognition. 18. Benefits and Money Advice Day - Gresham Ward and the ‘Jewel’ Streets were being targeted as part of a Benefits Advice day held at Newport Settlement Community Hub on 10th October. Fifteen agencies were on hand to help answer queries residents had about Welfare Benefits and money/debt issues. The event was the first in a series of events to increase resident’s knowledge and help them prepare for the imminent changes to the Benefits system. 3 19. Easterside Hub - work is underway to renovate and refurbish the library facility at Easterside Hub. The work will create a common entrance for the community centre/library, enabling one reception desk to manage all enquiries related to the services offered from the building. In addition to this, existing space within the library will be freed for community groups and youth related work. 20. Brambles Farm – the Community Asset Transfer of Brambles Farm Community Centre to the Hope Foundation has been completed. Brambles Farm is the first building to transfer from the Council under the asset transfer scheme. Hope Foundation will lease the building from the Council on a 25 year lease and aim to deliver a variety of courses and activities that will have relevance to Brambles Farm residents. Most of the groups that meet in the centre have either been accommodated elsewhere or can rent rooms from Hope and continue to use the centre. 21. Thorntree Hub - building work at Thorntree to accommodate the new Library is almost complete and it is hoped will be up and running by the end of November. The SureStart work to accommodate day care was completed on time and is and is functioning as a nursery.

    CONTAINS PULLOUTS Spatial Adjustments in the Teesside Economy, 1851-81. I. Bullock. NEWCASTLE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY ---------------------------- 087 12198 3 ---------------------------- A Thesis Submitted to the University of Newcastle upon Tyne in Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of PhD, Department of Geography 1970a ABSTRACT. This study is concerned with spatial change in a reg, - ional economy during a period of industrialization and rapid growth. It focuses on two main issues : the spatial pattl-rn of economic growth, and the locational adjustments induced and required by that process in individual sectors of the economy. Conceptually, therefore, the thesis belongs to the category of economic development studies, but it also makes an empirical contribution to knowledge of Teesside in a cru- cial period of the regionts history. In the first place, it was deemed necessary to estab- lish that economic growth did occur on Teesside between 1851 and 1881. To that end, use was made of a number of indirect indices of economic performance. These included population change, net migration, urbanization and changes in the empl. oyment structure of the region. It was found that these indicators provided evidence of economic growth, and evide- nce that growth was concentrated in and around existing urban centres and in those rural areas which had substantial mineral resources. To facilitate the examination of locational change in individual sectors of the economy - in mining, agriculture, manufacturing and the tertiary industries -, the actual spa- tial patterns were compared with theoretical models based on the several branches of location theory. In general, the models proved to be useful tools for furthering understand- ing of the patterns of economic activity and for predicting the types of change likely to be experienced during industr- ial revolution.

  • 2014 Annual Newsletter
    THE FRIENDS OF LINTHORPE CEMETERY & NATURE RESERVE YEARLY NEWSLETTER – JANUARY 2014 Welcome to an update from The Friends of Linthorpe Cemetery and Nature Reserve. It has been an extremely busy and productive year and we have been pleased to have seen so many people come to this valued green space throughout the past months. The year started with the Friends Annual General Meeting on 7 th February. Keith Harker retired as Treasurer and Alison Brown was proposed as the new Treasurer. The Committee members were voted in unopposed and with no further changes. Keith Harker carried out a Winter Bird Count on behalf of the Friends and the findings were passed to the RSPB who are collating information as part of a three year mapping of birds. March saw members of the public helping with our Planting and Clean Up Day which was very much appreciated. Wildflowers and bulbs were planted around the Information Centre and the Butterfly Tree Meadow. The group carried out a detailed survey of people using the cemetery. The results indicated a favourable account of what we are trying to achieve and Peter Kettlewell, former Head of Bereavement Services, accepted the survey which became part of the application for Green Flag status. Peter Kettlewell mentioned that he had a pot of money he had earmarked for the renovaton of a selection of graves. We were constricted by the amount so we were only able to renovate five at the moment but we are delighted that this list may be added to. The memorial to Father Burn, who lies near the Nursery Lane Entrance, was renovated.

Infrastructure planning - legislative, policy and wider context 5 4. Methodology 8 5. Scoping 9 6. Baseline infrastructure assessments 12 7. Infrastructure delivery schedule 45 Appendix A Housing allocations 59 Appendix B Mobile telecommunications sites in Middlesbrough 61 2 1. Introduction 1.1 Produced in line with national planning policy (see paragraphs 3.2 - 3.4 for more details), this Infrastructure Delivery Plan (IDP) provides details of infrastructure needed to support future growth as a result of the Local Plan - Housing, including the type, timing and potential costs of infrastructure. 1.2 The IDP is intended to be a 'living' document, with its content monitored on a regular basis (in all likelihood alongside the Local Plan Annual Monitoring Report [AMR]) and updated as appropriate, in order to reflect changing circumstances, including when any new Local Development Documents (LDDs) are produced as part of the overarching Local Plan. To remain up-to-date, a flow of information from (internal [i.e. Council) and external) service providers to the Planning Policy team will be required on a regular basis. 1.3 The IDP does not include every infrastructure project planned in Middlesbrough or provide a list of planning obligations; it only includes those that will help to deliver the development (i.e. housing) proposed by the Local Plan - Housing or contribute towards the creation of sustainable communities. It does, however, identify areas where gaps in provision exist or are likely to exist over the plan period.

  • Cleveland County Council Election Results 1973-1993
    Cleveland County Council Election Results 1973-1993 Colin Rallings and Michael Thrasher The Elections Centre Plymouth University The information contained in this report has been obtained from a number of sources. Election results from the immediate post-reorganisation period were painstakingly collected by Alan Willis largely, although not exclusively, from local newspaper reports. From the mid- 1980s onwards the results have been obtained from each local authority by the Elections Centre. The data are stored in a database designed by Lawrence Ware and maintained by Brian Cheal and others at Plymouth University. Despite our best efforts some information remains elusive whilst we accept that some errors are likely to remain. Notice of any mistakes should be sent to [email protected]. The results sequence can be kept up to date by purchasing copies of the annual Local Elections Handbook, details of which can be obtained by contacting the email address above. Front cover: the graph shows the distribution of percentage vote shares over the period covered by the results. The lines reflect the colours traditionally used by the three main parties. The grey line is the share obtained by Independent candidates while the purple line groups together the vote shares for all other parties. Rear cover: the top graph shows the percentage share of council seats for the main parties as well as those won by Independents and other parties. The lines take account of any by- election changes (but not those resulting from elected councillors switching party allegiance) as well as the transfers of seats during the main round of local election.
