IT’S great that Saltburn, the jewel in Redcar and Cleveland’s crown, has made it to number four in The London Economics’ list of the best up-and-coming places to live.
This serves to ratify Saltburn’s appearance, last year, in The Sunday Times’ list of best places to live.
It’s true Saltburn has grand Victorian buildings, magnificent scenery, a great beach and pier, the cliff tramway, scrumptious food, the Valley Gardens, and facilities for all ages. But, above all, it has residents who value culture, sport and education, as well as a passion for their local environment.
On March 13, I attended the mayor’s community achievement presentations and there were no less than two individuals, Barbara Helen and Roy Smith, who won awards for keeping Saltburn and its beach clean and tidy.
It makes it so much easier for the council when our residents are sweeping in the same direction. Throughout the east Cleveland villages, we are all proud of Saltburn’s success, and it is a privilege for us to include Saltburn-by-the-Sea as an essential element in our postal addresses.
Keep it up Saltburn. You are an example to us all!
Steve Kay, Redcar & Cleveland councillor
