Local schoolchildren celebrate news of the Rugby World Cup announcement with MFC Foundation's Helen
Bowman, Middlesbrough mayor Dave Budd, MFC's David Joyes and Tees Valley mayor Ben Houchen.
T
ees Valley has been chosen as one of
the host venues for the Rugby League
World Cup 2021.
It will host part of the major international
competition in autumn 2021, following
a successful bid led by the Tees Valley
Combined Authority.
Around 100 people involved in the bid,
along with pupils from local schools and
a rugby league team, heard the news at an
event at Middlesbrough Football Club’s
Riverside Stadium as the announcement was
broadcast live by the BBC from Manchester.
The bid could give the region an economic
boost of up to £8m, attracting tens of
thousands of global rugby fans to the area.
This winning bid will also work in support
of Tees Valley’s application to be named UK
City of Culture 2025.
Tees mayor Ben Houchen said: “This is a
major coup for the Tees Valley, backed by a
fantastic bid that showed why we would be
a perfect fit for the Rugby League World
Cup.
“We’re already punching above our
weight and this will see our region
beamed into the living rooms of sports
fans across the world and boost tourist
numbers.”
Middlesbrough mayor Dave Budd
added: “This is the latest great news for
our region’s wider culture and sporting
scene, which already has plenty to shout
about.
“We have Take That and Jess Glynne
both lined up for concerts and now
another world-class sporting event to
look forward to.”
The bid was put together by a
partnership of the Tees Valley Combined
Authority, Middlesbrough FC,
Darlington Mowden Park RFC, MFC
Foundation, Middlesbrough Council and
Darlington Council.

Award winning dentist Dr Will
Carter of Billingham-based
Queensway Dental gives more
details about dental implants and
their benefits…
How do dental implants work?
A dental implant is a biocompatible screw
which is placed into your jaw bone, a tooth
or several teeth and can be permanently
attached to the implant.
Queensway’s onsite laboratory is fitted with
state-of-the-art technology which enables
us to achieve incredibly accurate and
aesthetic restorations.
What are the benefits?
They can help prevent further bone loss
due to the support, they restore full mouth
functionality to the patient, eliminate
food restrictions, can replace a full set
of dentures and do not interfere with
speech. They have also been found to be
stronger and support the bite forces better
than dentures and other non-permanent
solutions.
Are there different types of dental implants?
What’s new?
Although I carry out all types of implant
treatment, from single to mini, my
specialist interest is the rehabilitation of the
severely damaged mouth.
With my team, I can remove damaged
teeth and immediately place implants and
teeth on the same visit. This revolutionary
All-on-4™ concept has been developed to
provide teeth for patients who previously
would not have been able to have
implants without significant bone grafting
procedures.
I’m also excited about the development of
ceramic ‘metal free’ implants which I have
started using for those patients who have
concerns about metal sensitivity - I believe
these will become more mainstream.
How long do they last?
Due to the time that we take with treatment
planning and oral health care, your implant
should be a definitive solution. Queensway
Dental has exceptional success rates which
are above both the national and global
estimated averages.
Queensway Dental offers a free, no-
obligation consultation for new patients. Call
01642 554667 or visit www.queensway.co.uk
to book an appointment online.
