In the 2023 local elections, the following members were returned to Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council:^[3]

Municipal buildings

It was demolished in 2012; civic facilities were relocated nearby. The political meetings took place at Inspire 2 Learn, formerly Eston's City Learning Centre, also in Teesville, on Normanby Road.[5]

The leader and deputy leader's office, together with offices for political groups, were temporarily moved there until new facilities become available within the £31 million Redcar Leisure & Community Heart scheme. In addition, the mayor's office was temporarily relocated to Redcar's Kirkleatham Museum, before also switching to Redcar centre in 2013.^[6]

Schools

Teesville Primary School. Is an amalgamation of two separate schools, one providing for EYFS and Key Stage 1, and a separate Junior School catering for Key Stage 2. The new EYFS to KS2 school was devised as an extension of the Ofsted "outstanding" Teesville Infants School.^[7] The present school opened in 2014 and a short Oftsed inspection in 2019 graded it as a "Good" school, stating : "Teesville Primary School is a happy, vibrant community. The pupils are confident, enthusiastic and keen to learn. The vast majority enjoy coming to school. They work well together. They are well-mannered and respectful. You are clear with parents and pupils about the importance of good attendance. You celebrate attendance with pupils and have recently begun to work more closely with parents and carers to ensure that pupils attend school regularly. However, the proportion of pupils who are regularly absent from school is above the national average. Leaders need to continue to challenge and support parents to improve this.^[8]

Churches

The Catholic parish of St Andrew^[9] was formed in 1962. The parish church, built by architect Frank Swainston, and church hall stand together on Fabian Road.

St George's Church is nearby and was also built in the 1960s. It shows a triangular design with a long sloping roof almost to the ground on one side. It forms half of the team parish of two Anglican churches – the other being the much more traditionally designed Christ Church, in Eston.

Nearby places

A small brick building next to the Eston Sports Academy has a history unknown to most locals. It was originally the North Riding of Yorkshire's Grangetown Area Control, a communications centre during the Cold War and opened in 1954. The control was closed in 1968 after the Civil Defence Corps was disbanded.

In the 1980s the building was not re-used; a room in the Redcar and Cleveland (then Langbaurgh) Town Hall was used instead.^[10]
