Site of new treasury office in Darlington announced
The site of the government's new treasury office in Darlington has been unveiled as a former car park in the town centre.
Chancellor Nadhim Zahawi made the announcement on his first visit to the town.
There are currently around 130 Treasury staff at the new cross-government hub, they are working out of temporary offices in Darlington.
The aim is to have up to 300 Treasury roles based at the new site, with the majority of staff recruited directly to the campus and some existing staff relocating from London.
Other government departments will also have teams based at the site.
The move is part of the government's levelling up agenda.
Zahawi said: "I am delighted to announce the permanent site for our Economic Campus in Darlington on my first visit to the town as Chancellor.
"We are creating jobs for local people and spreading opportunity as part of our drive to level up.
“This government is delivering on its promise to ensure those living outside of London can be at the heart of decision-making so we better reflect the communities we serve."
Tees Valley Mayor Ben Houchen said: "Having the Treasury on our doorstep not only brings fantastic jobs for local people, but also ensures that as a region we are at the forefront of Government decision making."
The site still remains subject to contract and lease agreements with a developer.
