BUSINESSES are being sent a map to show the best freight routes in Redcar and Cleveland.

The maps show recommended through-routes and large-scale maps of the major freight destinations in the area covered by Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council.

The destinations are the South Tees Freight Park, Teesport and Corus, Redcar and Skelton.

The council's travel plan officer, Janet Easley, said: "The map will be a useful tool for local businesses."
