Middlesbrough Borough Council is the local authority of Middlesbrough. It is a unitary authority and borough associated for ceremonial and historic purposes with North Yorkshire, England. It is based on the town of Middlesbrough, which is sometimes considered to spread outside the borough boundaries into the neighbouring borough of Redcar and Cleveland; the borough extends southwards to a semi-rural area. Whilst part of North Yorkshire for ceremonial purposes, it is in the region of North East England. It had a resident population in 2001 of 134,855. A 2006 mid-year estimate suggests the Borough to have a population of 138,400. The borough council is one of the authorities bidding to achieve city status in 2012, to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.HistoryMiddlesbrough Borough Council was formed on 1 April 1974, under the Local Government Act 1972, from part of the former County Borough of Teesside, along with the parish of Nunthorpe from the Stokesley Rural District. It was a district, and the county town of the new county of Cleveland from 1 April 1974, until 1996. As a district, it was one of the four constituent districts of Cleveland: Cleveland being the upper tier in the two-tier system. When Cleveland was abolished under the Banham Review, Middlesbrough became a unitary authority and as such took on the rights and duties of a county, and only ceremonially part of the non-metropolitan county of North Yorkshire, but not run by it.

Opened to traffic on 28 February, 1934, by the Duke of York, the Tees Newport Bridge spans the River Tees a short distance upriver from Tees Transporter Bridge, linking Middlesbrough with the borough of Stockton-on-Tees, England.

South Bank railway station serves South Bank, in Redcar and Cleveland unitary authority in the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire, England. It is on the Tees Valley Line 2.5 miles (4 km) east of Middlesbrough and operated by Northern Rail, which provides all passenger train services.The station is covered by a newly installed Funkwerk Text-To-Speech Public Address System (PA) using a synthesized British female voice.The present station was opened in July 1984 to replace a previous structure situated half a mile (0.8 km) farther east that was inconveniently sited in the middle of a heavily-industrialised area and in the way of a planned new dockside access road. This previous station, with its island platform was opened by the NER in 1882 to serve the growing town of South Bank and replaced the original station (initially called Eston) built in 1853 by the Middlesbrough & Redcar Railway. Ironically, this was located on the same site as the present station. The 1882 station was closed on the same day that its replacement opened; this survived intact but derelict for may years thereafter but has since been demolished to allow the down (eastbound) line through the site to be realigned.
