Welcome Back Cleveland

[Stevef]

It seems that the Tees Valley City Deal has now been formally signed at Cavendish House in Stockton. Ian Wright who attended the event said  the region from Darlington to Hartlepool was "better together".

It also has the approval of CAB who said: "Local councils have worked extremely hard along with the business community and other key organisations to win City Deal status for Tees Valley."

This apparently has secured £12m for the area and will enable them to focus on

Providing the conditions to enable increased investment in the processing, chemicals and new green technology industries;

Taking industrial carbon capture and storage (CCS) forward for Tees Valley and the UK as a whole;

Creating new business and civic benefits from waste industrial heat

If those two endorsed breathing I'd hold my breath.
