Eston Precinct

In recent years, Eston has faced many challenges. Empty shops on Eston’s High Street, for instance, have increased while the existing Eston Precinct is a dated retail environment.

The proposed redevelopment therefore aims to provide high-quality retail and leisure facilities and will enhance the surrounding area with new paving, trees and benches. These developments will help to attract new retailers and provide a better and more vibrant environment for residents to shop.

The vision of Greater Eston Levelling Up is for the precinct to become a retail hub at the heart of Eston, benefiting residents and the local economy for years to come. It will provide much-needed local services, as well as ensuring that Eston is a pleasant place to visit.

The walking and cycling ‘Active Travel route’, too, will be closely located to Eston Precinct, thereby helping improving residents’ access to Teesworks and any potential job opportunities.

Note that £8M of the funding is provided by Levelling Up Funding, and £2M is provided by the Indigenous Growth Fund, as part of Tees Valley Combined Authority. This provides a total fund of £10M.
