Redcar Central Station Project and the Redcar Town Deal – High Street Transformation Works site visit
Your invited to visit Redcar Town to see some of the biggest council led town regeneration projects in the Northeast and speak to the contractor and other individuals involved.
Redcar Central Station Project– Redcar Central Station Project- The Grade II listed former station building had stood derelict for many years prior to the Council taking over the lease and with funding from UK Government and the Railway Heritage Trust are embarking on a major conservation/ restoration project to repair and safeguard its future. The project is complex with the operational rail line 1m from the engine shed wall so requires specialist designers and contractors as well as close working with Network Rail, conservation officers and planning . The works will create a new commercial leisure and retail space at a key gateway into Redcar Town, with completion due later this year.

Redcar Town Deal – In 2021 the council secured £25m of Town Deal funding to support the town providing for a better quality of life for those who work and live in it, along with ambitions to make it a cultural and tourist destination, with some of the projects completed to date. You will have an opportunity to learn about the wider regeneration aim for the Town Deal masterplan and be able to view the new public real works on the Highstreet which has ongoing works in different phases. You will also be able to see the Culture and Leisure Anchor Attraction site from the Highstreet, which is in the final stages of demolition and party wall licensed works, prior to the main build work commencing in the Autumn
