Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council has temporarily closed the toilets on Moore Street in Redcar after serious anti-social behaviour which put the safety of the public and council staff at risk.

There have been several instances of anti-social behaviour over recent months, but over the weekend, the toilets were vandalised and the council received reports of serious anti-social behaviour.

The toilets will now remain closed while the council takes action to make the toilets safe for users and staff.

A spokesperson from the council said that they will reopen the toilets as soon as possible, once it is safe to do so.

The very best of Redcar and Cleveland will go on show later this month.

Around 40 businesses and other organisations from across the borough will showcase and sell their products and services at the Ambassador Showcase at Gisborough Hall next Friday, September 16.

Speakers at the event will include presentations by David Jack, from SeAH Wind, the South Korean company which is investing more than £300m in a wind turbine factory on Teesworks and Geoff Greaves, Managing Director of Merlin Cinemas, the company which will be operating The Regent in Redcar.

A panel discussion will cover the how Redcar and Cleveland is continuing to develop as a great place to live, enjoy and do business.
