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 existing precinct is set to be demolished within the Summer period of 2025.

The Council will then be building a phase 1 of five to seven new retail units to lease, along with the creation of a new outdoor precinct area with new paving, benches, lights, and power points for events and markets. The principal contractor for the demolition and newbuild is the ESH Group.

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.
