Evidence was given for Corus by TCP’s Managing Director, Jon Bolton. He outlined the fact that demand for slab steel declined exponentially from the autumn of 2008 and through 2009. He did not state that Corus Redcar had no orders for slab. He did make a statement that a wage subsidy would be insufficient to maintain production at Redcar. No explanation of failed partnership agreements was given. A continual criticism was made of the fact that Mr Kirby Adams, Chief Executive Officer of Tata Steel Europe (Corus’s and TCP’s parent company), did not attend in person to give evidence to the Committee. He was made the offer that the Committee would meet with him at any time during its inquiry to fit in with his diary. It is disappointing, and unacceptable, that this offer did not receive a positive response. His only response was written, in answer to a list of questions that may be found among the evidence attached to this Report. The Committee was not, as a result, able to question Mr Adams in any detail about why a decision affecting the lives and livelihoods of thousands of people on Teesside had been taken. A similar disrespect was shown to the multi-union committee representing Corus workers, who told us that Mr Adams had attended meetings only briefly in order to make a statement and then leave, without engaging with the workforce or answering legitimate questions. Evidence produced by Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council and by Tees Valley Unlimited, along with the Joint Trade Union committee and Trades Union Congress, outlined the serious economic devastation that would occur if the TCP plant were mothballed. The number of those made unemployed as a consequence will climb above 4,000. Tees Valley Unlimited outlined work commissioned by Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council that raised the opportunity of keeping Corus manufacturing slab steel if the Government provided a wage subsidy. This idea was supported by the TUC, who outlined the fact that 22 of the 26 Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries have wage subsidies in place for industries in economic difficulty. This evidence ended with a request that Government urgently explore the legality of using a state wage subsidy. The Joint Trade Union’s evidence, led by Community, requested explanations of how, and why, potential buyers had failed to achieve a working partnership agreement with Tata. They made reference to the fact that the mothballing of TCP would lead to a serious decrease in demand for highly skilled and general worker operatives. They made the case that mothballing the plant would require the retention of upwards of 400 highly skilled employees if the plant were to be maintained for operational use. Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council and the Mayor of Middlesbrough made reference to the facts that world steel prices are rising and that the North East Region’s economic 4 Teesside Cast Products development is changing to carbon capture and renewable industries, such as, off-shore wind farms. Thus, a future demand for steel is inevitable. The Regional Development Agency played a central role in securing £60 million in aid for the North East in the wake of Corus and Tata’s decision to mothball the Redcar facilities. It will also be central in funding and organising work to enable those who lose their jobs at TCP, and in the wider local and regional economy, to seek alternative employment. The Minister for the Region, Rt Hon. Nick Brown MP, said that the Government would continue to explore means of returning the plant to production. Teesside Cast Products 5 Teesside Cast Products Introduction 1. Corus decided on 4 December 2009 to mothball its Teesside Cast Products (TCP) integrated iron and steel plants at Redcar and Lackenby. The decision was endorsed by Corus’s owner, Tata Steel. About 1,600 workers will lose their jobs now that the decision to mothball has been implemented, from 19 February. An estimated 1,000 more sub- contractors will be directly affected, with an estimated 8,000 people further down the supply chain also at risk of losing business or their livelihoods. One North East (ONE), the Regional Development Agency, suggests some 346 main suppliers could be affected. About 98 are in the North East, with 235 elsewhere in the UK and 13 international. ONE also suggest that the loss of 1,600 TCP jobs could result in a further 1,100 job losses down the Corus supply chain and 400 more in the wider regional economy.1 That makes about 3,200 North East jobs in total. 2. Corus initially announced that the Redcar blast furnace—Europe’s second largest—and Lackenby Steelmaking and the South Bank coke ovens would be mothballed from the end of January, but kept ready for any possible restart of business. It later agreed to defer mothballing until February, and to keep South Bank open, saving about 100 jobs. These followed earlier decisions in June 2009 to cut 428 more jobs in the area at the Teesside Beam Mill. Corus continues to employ a further 2,000 people in the area, including at Hartlepool and Skinnigrove. Most of Corus’s Teesside iron and steelmaking facilities were constructed in the 1970s, but the company moved its core steel business elsewhere from 2003. 3. Until recently, the TCP plant was profitable. Corus itself describes its Redcar operation as “a unique steelmaking business with the capability to produce a wide range of steel slabs for the international market. It is operated by a highly skilled and experienced workforce and is located in a region that understands and supports the needs of the business”.2 Why mothballing was announced 4. Three broad reasons have been advanced explaining why Corus took the decision to mothball its Teesside plant. First, a worldwide fall in demand for steel resulted in significant falls in production at Teesside. Corus, dependent largely on export, was expected to produce 33% less steel in 2009 than it did the previous year, and was operating at only 60% capacity. Steel demand across Europe had fallen by 40% in the first nine months of 2009 compared with the previous year. Secondly, falling demand has been accompanied by falling prices. In July 2008, prices peaked at just over $1,000 a tonne. By December 2009, the price per tonne of the type of steel produced at Teesside had fallen by nearly 60%. 1 Ev 49 2 Ev 54 6 Teesside Cast Products 5. The third reason is the main reason why the plant has been mothballed. Partly as a result of the combination of the first two factors, an off-take agreement to buy the steel produced at Teesside collapsed. Under that agreement, 78% of slab steel produced at Teesside was to be sold at cost over the 10 years to December 2014 to a consortium of four foreign-based steel companies—Marcegaglia of Italy, Dongkuk of Korea, Alvory of Argentina, and Duferco of Switzerland. The agreement broke down in May last year, partly because the cost price had become higher than the world market price for steel, and the four companies walked away from the agreement.

The Authority’s Monitoring Report (AMR) is part of the Redcar & Cleveland Local Development Plan (LDP). Its key purpose is to assess the progress made in preparing the LDP, the effectiveness of LDP policies and to make any recommendations on where policy changes should be made. This AMR covers the period 1 April 2017 to 31 March 2018, and also includes anything significant which has happened since this monitoring period. 1.2 Why do we need to monitor? Monitoring is a vital process of plan and policy making. It reports on what is happening now and what may happen in the future. These trends are assessed against existing policies and targets to determine whether or not current policies are performing as expected, ensuring that the LDP continues to contribute to the attractiveness and functionality of Redcar and Cleveland as a place to live, work, invest and visit. Up until now, the AMR has monitored trends to assess the performance of the policies within the Local Development Framework (LDF), which is made up of the Core Strategy Development Plan Document (DPD) and Development Policies DPD and the Saved Policies of the 1999 Local Plan.
