   Making Waves Around the World  🌊 

  • Plans resubmitted for Middlesbrough car wash: Developers have resubmitted plans for a car wash in Coulby Newham in the Borough of Middlesbrough in North Yorkshire, England. The plans for constructing a car wash facility in the Parkway Shopping Centre car park were initially rejected by the Middlesbrough Council in 2024. According to a report by Teesside Live, rather than appeal the council’s decision, developers instead submitted the plans that include a new highways supporting document, which includes design revisions and management measures to address traffic congestion issues brought up with the initial rejection. The council, or its planning committee, will now review the revised plans.
