Meet our Community

The Tees Valley is a large area which spans five boroughs in which over 1.2 million people live, work and play. We're linked by the amazing river that offers so much natural beauty, and the Tees Valley Combined Authority which advocates for us at a national level, but we also have five distinct boroughs with their own character and opportunities.

Coming to a new area can mean new rules about everything from libraries and council tax, to bin collections and adoptions. We hope these links help.
