The Tees Valley is an urbanised city region in the North East of England nestled between North Yorkshire and County Durham and consisting of the following five unitary authorities: Darlington, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Redcar and Cleveland and Stockton-on-Tees, the latter four previously formed the administrative county of Cleveland between 1974 and 1996.
The Tees Valley area covers the lower, flatter (and much more urban) area of the valley of the River Tees. Tees Valley Enterprise Zone is an enterprise zone which encourages industrial development in 12 sites around the region, with a thirteenth site planned.
The five councils have recently announced plans to establish a Tees Valley Combined Authority after a majority of the public voted for the move. Sixty five per cent of more than 1,900 responses received during a seven-week long public consultation were in favour of a combined authority.
This is a chart of trend of regional gross value added of Tees Valley at current basic prices published (pp.240–253) by Office for National Statistics with figures in millions of British Pounds Sterling.
Come away for evermore.
We could place everyone on the floor.
We could love them as our own,
But we watch from above all alone.
All our lives,
We put them out of sight and out of mind.
But it goes to the bone,
So put your shoes back on, We're going home.
We're going.
Put away our dirty face.
Smile away tired eyes we replace.
What have we done?
Can we see?
Everyone watching as we recede.
All our lives,
We put them out of sight and out of mind.
But it goes to the bone,
So put your shoes back on, We're going home.
We realize our faults and cover up our eyes.
Our moment's over.
To the sound of nervous glances,
