“The Cabinet recently considered the Vibrant and Thriving Town Centres - Regeneration Update Report and made
the decision recommending the development of a Masterplan and Business Case for the development of Teesdale
Business Park, and the adjacent Marshalling Yards, based around a potential Social Care & Health Zone.
The Regeneration Report submitted to inform that decision highlights the exceptional opportunity to bring together a
strategy for both sites, which could see a nationally significant regeneration scheme focused around key sector
growth to develop a Health and Social Care Zone, with potential for: integrated training and health facilities, business
incubation, research, and development.
The potential for these important sites should not be underestimated, and the development of a Masterplan and
Business Case should, to support the initial vision for a Social Care and Health Zone, go further to include a new
state of art hospital that is so desperately needed in Stockton-on-Tees.
North Tees Hospital trust has estimated that it will potentially spend up to £300 million, just to maintain the building in
the 8 years of useful life it has left.
Infrastructure plays a critical role in supporting local communities and the local economy. Planning and financing it
correctly to maximise the area(s) potential are the keys to success in enabling our residents to access new health
care facilities, education, skills, and employment opportunities.
The nature of any proposed infrastructure project and ownership of the land/property is also important in securing
investor interest. If the infrastructure project is clearly linked to a local policy or strategy, supports strategic sites, or
enables significant transformation of the economy – this gives the proposition a lot more credibility. A willingness to
co-invest by Stockton Borough Council signals serious commitment.
To achieve this, Stockton Borough Council resolves,
1. To invite Tees Valley Mayor Ben Houchen, and the expertise of the Tees Valley Combined Authority, in assisting
to formulate the Masterplan and Business Case Development for the Teesdale Business Park and Marshalling Yard
sites.
2. To invite external investors and developers with a proven track record of urban regeneration to participate in the
preparation of the Master Plan and Business Case Development, and final development of the sites.
3. To invite North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust to work with this Council in formulating through their
expertise the Masterplan and Business Case development for the Teesdale Business Park and Marshalling Yard
sites.
4. To invite the local education sector, in particular the local universities to collaborate with this Council in
formulating the Masterplan and Business Case Development for the Teesdale Business Park and Marshalling Yard
sites.
5. To invite the Members of Parliament for Stockton South and North to promote and lobby the Government to
follow up on the health care investment already made in the planned Community Diagnostic Centre in Stockton-on-
Tees, by recognising further the significant savings to the public purse by investing in a new state of the art hospital
on the sites, rather than spending £300 million on a hospital that has only 8 years of useful life left.”
