Not so - I believe it is due to a public liability issue with the council and parkrun itself. But best not to say anymore about it.
The tees barrage cafe and shop…

What is unofficial if someone eyes up litigation?

No idea Rob. I'm just curious as to why a run around the barrage would be any different to a group of people running up and down Redcar beach organically or racing to the top of Roseberry Topping?
I was wrong about this - but I do wonder about the future whether as alluded to by a poster there could be a new parkrun linking in the new park and around the river. I think it would be good for Stockton to have a parkrun that is accessible from the centre of town.
It shouldn't be - but then again if someone injured themselves on Roseberry Topping they might look to take legal action if they could find anyone to target.

Well, I asked if SBC knew anything about the cafe/shop and they replied that its not one of their buildings…

"What a great loss to the local community."
Councillor Jim Beall, Stockton Council’s Cabinet Member for Health, Leisure and Culture, said: “We have given permission to the Tees Barrage parkrun organisers to use Council land. However, we believe the event organisers have not been able to reach a similar agreement with the Canals and Rivers Trust about use of their land for the run.”"
Yep. There was a follow up letter to the Canal and Rivers Trust who replied they were very happy for the parkrun to continue.'We are forced to concede': Popular parkrun folds after 10 years at Tees Barrage

It is a legal issue we cannot discuss here.

Legal action? The runner or the National Trust (since they own it)? If a runner falls while out jogging, surely there is no legal action, so why any different up Topping or Round the Barrage?
