| Teesworks approach does not compare well to best in class nationally and certainly not internationally. For example, the approach to dredging for the Teesworks South Bank Quay development is a very visible demonstration of the lack of ambition being shown by Teesworks, through what appears to be substandard operations, where speed and low cost seem to trump any heritage/environmental considerations. South Bank Quay will create much needed jobs in a sector that really supports the UK's need to move to Net Zero, but the jobs could have been equally created with a protective/precautionary approach to the environment and respect for local heritage. Instead, a short sighted approach where short terms profits both financial and political appear to have been prioritised over real sustainable long term benefits. | Teesworks approach does not compare well to best in class nationally and certainly not internationally.

| Once again we only know about the areas tested and we only know about them when there were tested. So we don't know how much higher the contamination levels were immediately after the exclusion zone dredging or how wide the spread of contamination is over the rest of the River Tees Estuary and even out to sea. | Once again we only know about the areas tested and we only know about them when there were tested.

| | This was the scandalous process of digging the old quay wooden piles out and removing the spoil and sediment under the quay and going back to the new quay line. The barge mounted was just throwing the sediment away into the river for the dredger to reach it when the barge moved. |

| | Digging up to the old quay before the piles were removed- all spoil just released into the river flow not to barges! |
