Public consultation launched on proposals for Redcar

Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council has launched a consultation on early proposals to revitalise Station Road and Queen Street in Redcar, with a public drop-in event scheduled for Thursday, July 30, at Redcar Station.

The event will run from 12pm to 7pm and is open to all without an appointment, offering a chance to view preliminary designs, speak with council officers, and ask questions about the project.

Councillor Lynn Pallister MBE, cabinet member for growth and enterprise, said: “We’re keen to hear residents’ views at this early stage as we continue to invest in Redcar town centre.

“Redcar Station and Station Road form a key gateway into the town.

“They’re often the first things people see when they step off a train, creating an important first impression of Redcar.”

The consultation is part of wider efforts to enhance the town centre, with the recently transformed railway station serving as a focal point for regeneration.

Visitors to the drop-in event will also have the opportunity to explore the revamped station.

For those unable to attend, the designs will be available for public viewing and comment from Friday, July 31, to Friday, August 14, at Rediscover Redcar on West Terrace.

Feedback can also be submitted online through the council’s engagement platform.

Cllr Pallister encouraged participation from across the community.

She said: “We want this area to reflect the pride we have in our town and showcase what a great place Redcar is to live, work, visit and invest.

“I’d encourage everyone to come along, view the proposals and share their feedback.”
