Plans to give 14 seaside properties in North Yorkshire a ‘Balamory’ style makeover using more than £250,000 of Government Town Deal funding have been scrapped.

Redcar and Cleveland Council said the “colourful facelift” intended for terraced houses in Newcomen Terrace would not proceed as not all the owners had agreed for their buildings to be painted, meaning the effect would only be piecemeal. Last month the Local Democracy Reporting Service revealed that a contract issued by the council for the scheme, which included repairs to rendering and pipework, amounted to £253,951 with a £30,000 contingency on top to cover unforeseen costs.

Meanwhile, similar ‘public realm’ improvements planned in Station Road, which runs from the train station to the Regent cinema on the seafront, including resurfacing footpaths, new tree planting and lighting have fallen foul of inflation, which has made materials and labour more expensive, and will be dropped.
