Residents in our area are being asked for their opinions on a proposed move for Redcar library.

Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council are proposing to move Redcar Library from the ground floor of Redcar and Cleveland House to a new location within the ground floor of TunedIn! on Majuba Road in Redcar. 

The move would be on a temporary basis, until mid 2025, when the library would be moved to a brand new facility in Redcar Town Centre, as part of the Redcar Town Deal development.

The council are inviting residents to give their views on the proposal and would like to hear your thoughts on the planned design, any suggestions on what you would like to see at the new venue and also any concerns that you may want to raise.
