Encyclopedia
Greater Eston is an urbanised area in the borough of Redcar and Cleveland
in the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire
, England
. The name of Greater Eston is a concept devised by town planners from Redcar and Cleveland
Council. It cannot be found on any maps, nor does it leave a trail of evidence in history. The idea of Greater Eston is one of unifying an area with separate, if sometimes merging, or crumbling, identities. This is an urban regeneration project and is still mostly on the drawing board.
It has elements which include The Great Street, The Great Park, an Urban Village
and so on. It will constitute the areas of Eston
, Grangetown
, Normanby, Ormesby
, South Bank
and Teesville
. The proposed Greater Eston is immediately to the east of the borough of Middlesbrough
, and forms part of the Middlesbrough
conurbation.
The area, with the addition of Ormesby
, is designated by the ONS as the Eston and South Bank urban subdivision of the Tees Valley
urban area, which according to the 2001 census had a population of 32,788.
A Supplementary Planning Document for the Low Grange Farm development, that is, a document outlining the main proposals, was published in 2008. By 2010, the Health and Social Care Village was opened.
