For mayor Dave Budd Middlesbrough’s
ongoing resurgence is something in
which the whole of the borough can take
considerable pride, while looking to the
future with confidence.
He said: “It’s plain to see that our city
centre strategy is working – investment,
not to mention shoppers and visitors, are
flooding into Middlesbrough and there is
barely a corner of the city centre that is not
seeing positive development.
“Everywhere you look there are new
restaurants, bars, hotels, leisure outlets and
offices, with new buildings in development
and old buildings undergoing restoration.
“The confidence and ambition we showed
in our Investment Strategy has translated
into investors putting their belief in what can
be achieved in Middlesbrough’s present and
future.
“We’ve made huge strides in the last two
years, and the evidence of what has been
achieved is writ large, from the city centre to
the suburbs.
“But the best is yet to come, as projects
currently in the pipeline come to fruition, and
new ideas begin to take shape.
“Middlesbrough is embarking on one
of the most exciting phases in its history,
and one that will stand it in good stead for
generations to come.”
