A further 202 people have been confirmed as having Covid-19 on Teesside.

Once again, it was Stockton which had the highest number of new confirmed cases, with 94.

In Middlesbrough there were a further 39 new cases, whilst here in Redcar and Cleveland there were 36.

A local council has been warned by its own external auditor that its level of reserves is precariously low.

Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council’s financial sustainability has been highlighted by accountants Mazars for the second year in a row.

The authority's reserves of £17.8m at the end of the 2019/20 financial year were the lowest of any Tees Valley council.

The Redcar Coastguard Rescue Team have been called into action in our area.

Just after 1.30pm on Monday, the Redcar and Staithes Coastguard teams were tasked by the Humber operations room at Bridlington to an incident on the beach opposite Majuba car park in Redcar.

However Cleveland Police had already resolved the incident while both teams were en route to scene so they were stood down.

The public are remnded that if you see anyone in trouble on the beach or cliffs you should dial 999 and ask for the Coastguard.
