An arson attack which destroyed a seafront shelter in Redcar cost the local council more than £46,000 to repair.
A document signing off the spending by Redcar and Cleveland Council revealed the estimate for the work, which involved stripping out damaged wood and replacing structural posts, screens, frames and glass, as well as painting and staining trims. It said the repair had been delayed while the appropriate bespoke materials were sourced and referred to a “significant increase” in the cost.
In November, toilets at the nearby Redcar Beacon – also known as the vertical pier – were closed off after a fire in a cubicle with a woman subsequently being arrested by police on suspicion of arson. Meanwhile, last summer concern over a series of anti-social behaviour incidents led Cleveland Police to put in place an order for a period intended to disperse large groups of youth congregating in the seafront/town centre area.
