The Borough of Middlesbrough is a borough and unitary authority in the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire, Northern England. In 2016, the borough had a population of 140,398. Most of the borough consists of unparished parts around the town of Middlesbrough. Parished areas include Nunthorpe, Thornton and Stainton villages. The borough is part of the Tees Valley region along with Stockton-on-Tees, Redcar and Cleveland, Hartlepool and Darlington boroughs.
Council
The current borough boundaries were formed on 1 April 1974, by the creation of a new non-metropolitan district of the former County Borough of Teesside by the Local Government Act 1972, covering the previous county borough of Middlesbrough along with nearly all of Middlesbrough Rural District. It remained part of North Riding of Yorkshire for administrative purposes until reconstituted as a unitary authority on 1 April 1997. For ceremonial purposes it remains part of North Yorkshire, with whom it no longer continues to share certain local services. It has its own services in the Teesside conurbation such as Cleveland Fire Services and Police. It is included within the Tees Valley area for both cultural and regional government administration.
It is made up of 20 council wards within the town of Middlesbrough, which are also covered by the Middlesbrough parliamentary constituency and Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland parliamentary constituency.
As well as Middlesbrough itself the borough includes the surrounding suburbs and villages of:
| Suburbs | ||
|---|---|---|
| Acklam | Ayresome | Berwick Hill and Pallister |
| Brambles and Thorntree | Central | Coulby Newham |
| Easterside | Grove Hill | Hemlington |
| Kader | Ladgate | Linthorpe |
| Longlands and Beechwood | Marton (east and west) | Newport |
| North Ormesby | Nunthorpe | Park |
| Park End and Beckfield | Stainton and Thornton | Trimdon |
The district contains 2 parishes "Nunthorpe" and "Stainton and Thornton",[1] the rest is unparished.[2]
It is near to Teesside International Airport (previously known as Durham Tees Valley Airport), of which the borough council shares joint ownership with the other four Tees Valley councils and Peel Holdings.
The council operates a Leader and Cabinet model of political leadership although a group of local residents aimed to force a referendum on moving to a system with directly elected executive Mayor.[3] Their bid was unsuccessful.
The political composition of the council, as of the May 2019 local elections, is Conservative 3;Labour 20; and Independent 23.
