Central Whinney Banks was an estate of around 550 dwellings built mostly in the 1930s and 40s, forming part of a wider expanse of social housing on the western boundary of Middlesbrough. Over a number of years the estate became unpopular, until the late 1990s over one third of the properties were void. In 1999 the area became part of the West Middlesbrough Neighbourhood Trust New Deal for Communities area and was identified as a flagship project for housing renewal.

After extensive work with the local community it was agreed that a fundamental change in the area was required if it was to become a successful and popular residential area again. (It was already popular, but people seen it as dangerous somewhat)

So Work began on acquiring and demolishing 412 houses in preparation for redevelopment.

In 2004, Bellway Homes, was appointed to lead on the £50 million redevelopment of the site. This involved the construction of 454 new homes for sale and rent.

The name also changed from Whinney Banks to Acklam Green to make it sound a more desirable place to live.

They are also building 40 properties on the site of the former St Francis School which shut because of low class numbers.

Also 4 houses, and 16 bungalows will be for rent, 20 part ownership

A roundabout will also be built on Acklam Road at a gateway entrance to Acklam Green - the redevelopment area in central Whinney Banks (Acklam Green
