Press Release
Middlesbrough mayor Andy Preston has called on the government to bring civil service jobs to the town – warning that the wrong decision would represent “the biggest wasted opportunity Teesside has ever seen”.
Independent mayor Preston is concerned the government will move a department of the Treasury from London to an out-of-town Tees business park which he believes would do “nothing” for the region’s economy.
Instead, he wants prime minister Boris Johnson and Chancellor Rishi Sunak to bring the civil service jobs to central Middlesbrough where they could have a “transformational” effect.
And he believes a new office development in the “magnificent” location by the town’s dock in Middlehaven could be created to host the civil servants.
