A 25-year-old man who was arrested on suspicion of murder after an incident in Marske has been released under investigation as enquiries continue.

Police were called to an address on Wheatacre Close by Cleveland Fire Brigade colleagues at around 2.15am on Wednesday June 9 where they were dealing with a house fire.

On arrival a man from inside the address was discovered deceased.

Police are continuing to appeal to anyone with information, including dashcam or CCTV footage.

Officers say they are not just interested in information relating to the incident on June 9 but we also want to hear from people who may have seen antisocial behaviour in the area before Wednesday.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police on the non-emergency number 101, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

A replacement Eston pool, new cycle routes and a town centre revamp for Guisborough are being included in two council bids for cash totalling nearly £40m from the Government’s ‘levelling up’ fund.

Fresh from securing £25m for Redcar under the Town Deal scheme, Redcar and Cleveland Council, in partnership with Middlesbrough Council, is to submit a raft of proposals to the fund, which, broadly, aims to pay for capital regeneration projects.

The Government is releasing about £600m in the first round of funding from a £4.8bn pot available to local councils for which bids must be in by June 18 with investment decisions made by the autumn.

Residents of Redcar and Cleveland aged 40 or over who have still not received their first Covid-19 vaccination jab are being offered the opportunity this weekend.

A walk in clinic strictly for patients aged 40 is being held at Redcar Primary Care Hospital on Saturday from 8.45am - 11.45am.

The invitation is open to patients registered at the Bentley, Coatham, Green House, Huntcliff, Ravenscar and Saltscar Surgeries.

No booking is required, patients can just turn up and will receive the AstraZeneca vaccine.
