How the Smoggies Are Going Green - Tees Business

With the COP26 global climate conference underway in Glasgow, mayor Andy Preston says Middlesbrough – where the locals are known as The Smoggies - is showing the way for others to follow with its green policies.

Just a shame that most of the town centre and its immediate surroundings looks like an absolute shiithole.

Where's the Ben Houchen money for Middlesbrough?

And I don't mean Hartlepool or Redcar or Stockton or Darlington.

Indeed Erimus74

Moving back to the area next year so it`s good to hear good news filtering through for the future
 
The Boro has never been pretty town. Pollution is definitely less than in the 1970s in the centre and within 2 miles of the centre. Middlehaven was still industrial then and now there is a bit of greenery.

If you go up to Ormesby Bank on a clear day and look over to Hartlepool and Billingham, you can seen for many miles, in say 1970 that was not possible, in fact it was rare to be able to see the Transporter.
 
I'm not sure what it will take for people to see through Andy Preston.

Although I agree we had a lot more pollution back in the 70's, I do think you are exaggerating regarding not being able to see the Transporter from Ormesby Bank - unless the weather was poor. I grew up in the Eston Grange area and spent many a weekend up Eston Hills and playing on the defunct brick workers which are now Flatts Lane Country Park. We use to sit up the top of the Ormesby side of the hills or at the Nab and look at the wonders and contrasting views in front of us. To the back of us, we had the Cleveland Hills and in front, the industrial landscape of Teesside stretching from Newport Bridge to Redcar. Yes, you can see further now but we could always see well past Middlesbrough.

I wish St Peter's had offered an O Level on the Eston Hills, it would have been the only one I passed. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Funnily enough, I was up there yesterday with the dog. :)
 
As mentioned before he is a property grifter. He has interests in dozens of development sites across Teesside and he will use his influence as mayor to get them built on asap then disappear into the sunset with the cash back to his palace. His very demeanour shouts out 'spiv'.

I'm roughly the same age as you Norman and agree with everything you have said there.
As for an 'O' Level on Eston Hills, going to the 'Sweats' it would have been the only one any of us would have passed
 
Travelling south over the A19 flyover and looking over towards Boro I'm amazed at the amount of greenery there is over the area, especially on a bright summers day.
