Work is finally set to start next week on a major revamp of facilities at the Guisborough Forest Walkway. Redcar and Cleveland Council was awarded ‘levelling up’ funding from the previous Conservative Government after a successful bid for projects in Guisborough and elsewhere, which included the walkway.

It recently appointed construction services company Meldrum to carry out the “significant enhancements” which incorporate an extension to the forest visitor centre. The work costing more than £674,000 will see:

The café expanded to accommodate more seating, doubling in size

An exhibition space increased to showcase a wider range of exhibits

An upgrade of toilet facilities

Energy efficient measures, including further photovoltaic panels being installed on the roof of the building
