The man was arrested on Tuesday afternoon on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving, no insurance, driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence and failing to stop after a road accident.

Residents in our area are being asked for their opinions as part of a major project in Redcar.

Last year, the town was awarded £25 million as part of the Government’s Town Deal initiative. 

The Town Deal Board are a group of industry experts, business leaders, and community representatives, who have volunteered to support the development of the Redcar Town Deal and the regeneration of Redcar. 

The Town Deal Board wants to hear from residents about the proposed development projects as part of plans to deliver major change to Redcar.
