Everything about Middlesbrough Borough totally explained
Middlesbrough is a
unitary authority and
borough in
North Yorkshire,
England. It is based on the town of
Middlesbrough, which is sometimes considered to spread outside the borough boundaries into the neighbouring borough of
Redcar and Cleveland; the borough extends southwards to a semi-rural area. Whilst part of North Yorkshire for
ceremonial purposes it's part of
North East England for
regional government purposes.
It had a resident population in 2001 of 134,855. A 2006 mid-year estimate suggests the Borough to have a population of 138,400 and the urban area to have 147,823 and rising. The district was formed on
April 1,
1974, under the
Local Government Act 1972, from part of the former county borough of
Teesside, along with the parish of
Nunthorpe from the
Stokesley Rural District. It was a district of the new county of
Cleveland from
April 1,
1974, until 1996, when Cleveland was abolished under the
Banham Review, and Middlesbrough became a unitary authority
The borough borders
Stockton-on-Tees to the west,
Redcar and Cleveland to the east and the
Hambleton district of North Yorkshire to the south.
Unlike most English districts, its council is led by a
directly-elected mayor, currently
Ray Mallon. Mr. Mallon was previously a senior officer in
Cleveland Police, and was noted for a
zero-tolerance approach to crime, adopted from the
New York system, during his time as head of Middlesbrough's
CID.
The borough has 23 council wards. Middlesbrough is mostly unparished, with
Nunthorpe and
Stainton and Thornton being the only parishes. Areas within the borough, other than central Middlesbrough, are
