About

Newcomen ward lies in the northern part of Redcar and Cleveland, encompassing coastal and residential areas directly west of Redcar town centre. The ward includes the neighbourhoods of Coatham and Warrenby, featuring a mix of housing estates and industrial heritage sites along the South Gare breakwater. Its coastline borders the mouth of the River Tees, with views across to the North Sea and the industrial landscape of the opposite bank.

The area is defined by its proximity to the sea and the extensive Coatham Sands. A long concrete promenade, the Majuba Road, runs parallel to the beach, serving as a popular local walkway. The undeveloped dunes and grasslands of the Coatham Enclosure provide a natural buffer between the residential streets and the shoreline, offering open green space within the urban setting.
