The vast size of a new furnace which will bring back steelmaking to our area has been revealed in new plans.

British Steel has confirmed plans to build a new Electric Arc Furnace at Lackenby, Redcar, which will use greener technology to melt scrap and produce new steel.

A planning application has now been sent to Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council in the next step towards production starting in 2025.

New CGI shows how a huge main building will house the Electric Arc Furnace, towering at just over 64 metres tall and covering 34,000 square metres.

That is ten metres taller than the Transporter Bridge, meaning that the plant would be one of the biggest structures on our area’s skyline.

 

Cleveland Police are appealing for information following a series of burglaries which occurred over the last month in the Linthorpe Road area of Middlesbrough.

Officers in Middlesbrough CID are investigating five burglaries, in which money and items were stolen, and one attempted burglary.

Officers are reminding business owners about what they can do to try and help protect their premises from being targeted such as ensuring that cash is removed from any business premises or stored in a bolted down safe, making sure that stock rooms are locked and, where possible, keep stock out of sight, and concealing the interior of your premises with shutters or by drawing blinds.

More information regarding protecting businesses can be found on the Cleveland Police website.

 

Applications for Primary School Reception places for September 2024 are now being taken.

Parents and guardians of pupils born between first of September 2019 to thirty first of August 2020 are now able to submit their applications for school preferences for the schools they wish their children to be considered for Primary School Reception in September 2024.

Applications can be made either via the school admissions online application system on the Redcar and Cleveland Borough Counsil website, or by completing a paper application form.

The national closing date for submission of applications is 15 January 2024.
