The LUF expenditure must be spent by March 2024. As part of the Locomotion visitor offer enhancements improvements and 18k walking and cycling along the Stockton and Darlington Railway route the Council are working in partnership with Stockton and Darlington to deliver interpretation along the route. To deliver the interpretation a consultant is required to provide specialist support and expertise in the detailed design and development of the interpretation. Initially Tees Valley Combined Authority lead on interpretation and undertook a competitive procurement exercise resulting in the awarded of contract to Bright White.
