The scheme will deliver wider footways in key areas, new paving, additional tree planting, improvements to parking, loading and drop-off arrangements, upgraded street lighting, and additional CCTV coverage.

These improvements are designed to make Station Road and Queen Street safer, more attractive and easier to use for residents, businesses and visitors.

The project aims to create a more welcoming and accessible town centre, encouraging more people to visit and spend time in the area. By improving the appearance and usability of these streets, the scheme will help support local businesses and enhance the overall town centre environment.

Subject to funding approval and planning permission, works are expected to begin in Spring 2027.


The survey has now closed. However, you can still view the plans and speak to the Rediscover Redcar team at 12 West Terrace, Redcar, TS10 1DS. The team will be happy to answer any questions and provide further information about the proposals.

    Hi Peter, 

    Thank you for your question. 

    Responsibility for the maintenance of the paved area has now transferred to the Council. We are currently arranging weed treatment and implementing an ongoing management and maintenance programme as part of our plans to open the building to the public.

    Thank you for your question.

    The proposals are being shared at an early stage to ensure that residents, businesses and visitors have a meaningful opportunity to help shape the scheme before it is finalised. Feedback received through the consultation will be used to refine and develop the proposals.

    In addition, funding programmes often have specific requirements and timescales, including the need to demonstrate public engagement before funding can be fully approved. As a result, consultation and project development often take place alongside the funding and planning processes.

    This is a standard approach for many regeneration and transport projects. While the scheme remains subject to funding being secured and planning permission being granted, consulting at this stage ensures local people can influence the proposals before key decisions are made.

    Thank you for your question.

    We recognise that anti-social behaviour and criminal activity can affect people's perception of an area. The Council works closely with Cleveland Police and other partners to address these issues through enforcement, community safety initiatives and targeted interventions.

    Enforcement action can only be taken where there is clear evidence and a legal basis for doing so. Residents can support this process by reporting incidents to Cleveland Police, enabling the relevant agencies to investigate and respond appropriately.

    Alongside enforcement activity, investment in the station, Station Road and the town centre is intended to improve the environment, encourage more visitors and businesses, and support the wider regeneration of the area.

    John Crossling asked about 1 month ago

    Hi John,

    Thank you for your question.

    The funding for Station Road comes from the Tees Valley Combined Authority's transport funding programme, bringing additional investment into Redcar that is specifically allocated for transport, connectivity and public realm improvements. This is external funding that has been secured for the town and cannot be redirected to unrelated purposes.

    We understand concerns about the railway station, however there is strong interest in the available spaces, and further announcements on future occupiers and developments will be made soon.

    Wendy G asked about 1 month ago

    Hi Wendy,

    Thank you for your question.

    Station Road has been prioritised because it is a key arrival point for visitors travelling to the town by rail and an important route into the town centre from the station. It also provides a vital link between the recently refurbished railway station and The Regent, helping to create a more attractive, accessible and welcoming experience for both residents and visitors.

    We recognise the importance of the Esplanade. While improvements there are not included in the current scheme, they may be considered at a later date if additional funding becomes available.

    In the meantime, investment is already taking place on the seafront through the construction of The Lookout on the Esplanade. This new attraction is intended to draw more visitors to the area, increasing footfall and helping to support local businesses while contributing to the town's wider regeneration.
