Tees Valley Combined Authority is the body that drives economic growth and job creation in the area. It focuses on economic development, transport, infrastructure and skills. The Combined Authority harnesses the economy-boosting powers of Tees Valley’s five local councils (Redcar & Cleveland, Middlesbrough, Stockton, Hartlepool and Darlington) and Tees Valley Local Enterprise Partnership to elevate partnership working between the public and private sector to create an even more effective approach to building a stronger Tees Valley.
