Redcar and Cleveland
Redcar and Cleveland is a
unitary authority borough in the former county of
Cleveland, consisting of
Redcar,
Saltburn-by-the-Sea,
Guisborough, and small towns such as
Brotton, Skelton, and
Loftus. The area is historically part of
Yorkshire, and is now part of the
ceremonial county of
North Yorkshire. It had a resident population of 139,132 in 2001. It is represented in Parliament by the barrister
Vera Baird (Labour) for the Redcar constituency and by
Ashok Kumar (Labour) for the Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland constituency.
The district was created in
1974 as
Langbaurgh, after the ancient
Langbaurgh wapentake of
Yorkshire. It took in part of
Teesside county borough, along with
Guisborough,
Loftus,
Saltburn and Marske-by-the-Sea and
Skelton and Brotton urban districts. The Laughbaurgh district was a
non-metropolitan district in the new
non-metropolitan county of
Cleveland. It is part of the
Tees Valley area.
Cleveland was abolished on
April 1,
1996, its districts becoming unitary authorities. At this time
Langbaurgh was renamed Redcar and Cleveland.
