Middlesbrough... What's Up Lately... More To The Point... What's Down?
Major plans are soon to be underway to employ ex Durham Coal and Cleveland Iron Stone workers, Tees Valley Unlimited intend to collect the "spoil" from the new mine workings to re-site both north and south of the river Tees. It's estimated millions of cubic metres of "spoil" will be needed to be placed along the top of Eston Hills from Saltburn in the east to Croft on Tees in the west. North of the River Tees a new mountain range will be built from Crimdon Dene Hartlepool in the East to Staindrop in the West.

Once completed these North and South of the river Tees Mountain Ranges are expected to attract world famous botanists, climbers and explorers, near to the mouth of the Tees a new Dam construction is envisaged once completed Seal Sands will become the centre of a new water sports complex, the Nuclear Power Station building roof due to it's ability to glow in the dark will be used as a new 24 hour launch point for pleasure craft and the many Oil Refinery storage tanks will become berthing places.

The river Tees at this point is expected to be around 20 ft deeper than present, the new Lakeside frontage in the South East will stretch from the proposed new Coatham Redcar Majuba Sands Sports Housing complex this new Coatham Redcar "Sands" complex is not believed to be connected with the world famous Sands Hotel Group.

Tees Valley Lake South East will start near Coatham Redcar in the East coming in a Westerly direction following close to the route of the A174 then continue along the route of the B1264 towards Kirkleavington and Picton. The South Westerly Tees Valley Lake foreshore will swing North at Neasham close to Darlington continuing on past Redmarshall and Thorpe Theweles before joining the route of the A689 towards the Hartlepool coast this will be the North East end of the Tees Valley Lake.

Tees Valley Unlimited hope for inward investment by Sir Richard Branson owner of the Grathorne Hall Hotel which will now take pride of place on the South West foreshore of the new Tees Valley Lake unfortunately the flooding of the Western part of the Lake will cover the Durham Tees Valley International Airport site which due to it's prior lack of worthwhile use... the creation of the Tees Valley Lake would allow conversion into a Seaplane Aerodrome facilities may also be provided for Boating Surfing Diving Fishing. Trips by Seaplane around the Tees Valley Lake and Mountain Ranges are envisaged.

Hugh Grant the famous actor is hoped to be employed to supervise this massive engineering undertaking which should be amongst the biggest civil engineering projects the world has ever seen and maybe once completed ranked as the eighth wonder of the world. The plan is expected to create work for thousands of people, it was hoped to utilise the newly built Middlesbrough China Town for the mass influx of cheap labour, but apparently the Chinese are too busy creating the worlds biggest dam. Tees Valley Unlimited are now expected to utilise the mass influx of cheap labour these past few years of Polish and East European workers along with the many refugees now living on Teesside.

Once constructed the new Dam across the mouth of the River Tees will provide the new roadway South North link of Tees Valley in the East, a lock system will be provided allowing access into the new Tees Valley Lake area for Merchant Shipping and pleasure craft. The fees for using this facility are hoped to offset construction costs but a new floating casino complex is envisaged using the laid up Tuxedo Royale coupled with the ex USA Navy Ships docked at present at the Graythorpe Construction yard the exact location where these will be berthed is yet to be decided.

Before the flooding of the Tees Valley commences experts from around the world are to be invited to Middlesbrough to tender for works of the undercutting of Middlesbrough Town Hall foundations for the insertion of oil rig platform transport barges. This in turn will allow Middlesbrough Town Hall to ebb and flow on tides and any unforeseen future floods. The same procedures may if costs allow be made for the MIMA and new water fountain feature if carried out this would be a worlds first in having a floating water fountain feature.

If the "floating" of Middlesbrough Town Hall is successful the ground floors and basements of Centre North East, Cleveland, Hill Street and James Cook Square shopping centres will be filled with concrete, upper floors being converted into shopping areas with boat berthing facilities, the roof top car parks will be utilised as "Boat Bilge" sales, a modification on the present Car Boot sales. Tenders will be invited for the provision of floating Kebab, Pizza and Charity Shop facilities.

Policing Public Safety are to be kept at the current level, to achieve this same level of response times for requests of Police attendance, Cleveland Police will be provided with one of the latest in design Rowing Boats, the new Cleveland Police Logo is thought to include crossed truncheons over a picture of the Titanic and to induce support from younger members of society the new Police theme song is expected to be the old children's favourite, Row Row Row Your Boat.

A competition is to be announced shortly for suggestions as too appropriate names and theme songs for the new Cleveland Tees Valley Water Police, prizes include involvement in Search and Rescue exercises to help the Force maintain equipment.

Lucky winners will participate in search and rescue missions and will be taken to the Tees Valley Mountain Ranges and Lake to be left at the new Tees Valley Police Boot Camp "Granada" for the customary two weeks or so whilst the Tees Valley Police Force decide to attempt a rescue or not.
