The family of a murdered Middlesbrough woman have paid tribute to her over the weekend.

34-year-old Jessica Patel sadly died on Monday 14th May at her home on the Avenue in Linthorpe.

Jessica’s family said that she was a kind hearted, gentle and selfless person who was loved dearly by her family and friends. She was completely dedicated to all of her family and her loss has brought an unbearable pain.

The family have said that they are devastated and have requested that people respect their privacy and allows them the time to grieve in peace.

Police have charged a 36-year-old man with the murder.

The reopening of Saltburn cliff tramway is likely to be delayed until after the summer.

The tramway, which opened in 1884, closed in October for its biggest refurbishment since 2010.

The tramway was expected to reopen at Easter, however further inspections revealed "more extensive repairs" were needed.

The revamp includes restoring the original Victorian features and designs and stripping the mechanical workings of the lift back into component pieces.

Damaged parts are being melted down and recast in the original style.
