We Are Teesside

Meet the people behind the High Street. Covid-19 has had a devastating impact on our High Street, particularly with our independent and local businesses; so we at The Tees will be supporting campaigns and projects aimed to support them. From @StocktonBID #Teesside #Stockton

This weekend Lynne Young opened her very own hat boutique in Redcar, 70 years after the last one on Redcar High Street closed down; but just weeks before opening she made an amazing discovery! #historyrepeatsitself #inspiringstories #teesside #amazing

It's here!! We are so excited to give you The Tees - An online platform for our people, our places and our voice. Head over to the website now at TheTees.Online and let us know your thoughts. This is just the beginning.

Nine things we could do at a Tees Valley level to prepare for the Climate Crisis - The Climate crisis is going to hurt our nation and the globe in ways never imagined. We must be prepared. thetees.online/preparing-for-…

Support Tees Music. Have a listen - it’s incredibly good!

Nice - Get the feels with this

We've updated our Discover Teesside playlist which features the new music from and around Teesside. Today's releases include: @DylanCartlidge - Cheerleader @FinnForster1 - There's still a room for you @Wraiths666 - Vile Spotify: open.spotify.com/playlist/5AVQK…

Grassroots culture & business are the soul of our towns and cities. They’re at risk. We need policies that prioritise the arts venue built with love and a bit of MDF or the street food business that trawled the streets for years before getting its 1st shop jessiejacobs.co.uk/2020/07/17/wit…

Our vision for this project was to bring the Tees together. We wanted be a place for ideas and inspiration, to champion the arts, music, books, local business and to raise awareness of local issues. At the end of Day 3, we feel like we've made a start. #TheTees

Can you help @TheMAIN_Project? They are looking for people, materials and funds to help them renovate the former North Ormesby Medical Centre. The charity provide short breaks (respite), training and support for families affected by disability #TheTees

We spoke to @FinnForster1 recently about writing and releasing music during covid-19. The singer songwriter has written and produced his debut EP titled 'Lockdown B-Sides' and it's a mood. It's out this Friday. Pre save it here: distrokid.com/hyperfollow/fi… Full video on Facebook 🙏

It's clear, the impact of Coronavirus is going to hurt the Tees Valley in ways, that up until a month ago were thought unimaginable. The jobs losses and business closures will be unprecedented and the human cost and loss of life will be devastating... but jessiejacobs.co.uk/2020/03/17/a-c…

"I'm not against blokes in suits becoming Mayors, but we don't only want blokes in suits. We do need someone to come in and mix it up a bit and Jessie in my view is a breath of fresh air. A people person. But a fighter as well and that's the important point here"

There are people across the Tees Valley finding themselves isolated because of the lack of bus services. It's time we changed this! So please sign the petition to support our campaign to bring back our buses. jessie4mayor.co.uk/campaigns/brin… #Jessie4Mayor #May2020

I'm delighted to have the backing of @MayorofGM Andy Burnham. Speaking at my campaign launch for #TeesValleyMayor, he said: "Jessie has real care for the people here, not just thinking about building infrastructure and business investment, but thinking about the people..."

People in areas like Port Clarence are completely cut off because of the lack of bus services, they have to rely on a taxi to even get to a hospital! It's not right, and this needs to be changed because its not all about profit - public transport is about people. #jessie4mayor

Its shocking that communities across Teesside, Darlington & Hartlepool are not even served by a bus service! I want to radically improve the transport system across Teesside & Tees Valley, and I'm passionate about getting the services we deserve. #jessie4mayor #May2020
