    Police in Middlesbrough have fined the parents of two youths for anti-social behaviour and breaking Covid restrictions.

    The parents had been warned by neighbourhood officers that their children, aged 12 and 16-years-old, had breached regulations in the Brambles Farm and Netherfields areas.

    Inspector Vas Khan, from Middlesbrough Neighbourhood Team, said: “We would like to ask parents, please speak with your children and explain the risks to themselves, their friends, their family and anyone they may come into contact with.

    "Where we identify youths involved in this kind of behaviour, we will take action to stop it.​"

    Police say there have been further incidents in Colmore Avenue and at Vaughan shops where two abandoned cars were set on fire.

  13. Work to start on demolishing Newcastle tower blockspublished at 11:32 Greenwich Mean Time 19 February 2021

    Two Newcastle tower blocks will disappear from the city’s skyline in a matter of months.

    The Titan House and Hexham House high-rise apartments in Walker will be replaced by 50 affordable homes, as part of the regeneration of the Church Walk area.

    Newcastle City Council announced plans to remove the 16-floor blocks in 2018.

    It had hoped the demolition would go ahead the following year and that construction of the new homes would be nearing completion in early 2021.

    It's now expected demolition work, which could take around nine months, will start after a contractor is appointed next month.

    The council confirmed all residents have been moved to new accommodation and work on the regeneration scheme should start next year.
