Please Credit Picture:Keith Taylor. EFFORTS to make the Tees Valley a “City of Culture” in 2025 have been dropped. Bids opened for cities and regions to vie to win the label last week after Coventry’s tenure began earlier this month. But Hartlepool Council leader Shane Moore has confirmed the Tees Valley Combined Authority (TVCA) will not be pursuing the status for the region. A push to make the region a “City of Culture” was first mooted in 2015, when former Teesside University vice-chancellor, Professor Graham Henderson, announced Tees Valley Unlimited and its partners should declare an intent to bid for 2025.

MEMBERS of St Mary’s Church Embsay with Eastby are celebrating having achieved the Silver Eco Church Award. The Eco Church Scheme covers five categories: worship and teaching, buildings, land, lifestyle and community and global engagement. A number of new initiatives have helped the church to gain this award. The church now has a monthly environment theme through the year. A series of services, held online during the lockdown had an environmental theme with discussion groups afterwards. Members of the church were encouraged to carry out an audit of their carbon footprint in January. The vicarage has had a complete set of replacement windows and doors, and new damp proofing, making the building much more energy efficient (and warmer).
