Thousands of sea creatures are continuing to wash up on Teesside's beaches in what worried local people have called the worst they've ever seen.

Dead and alive crabs, lobsters and all manner of crustaceans are lying on the beach between Marske and Saltburn - in piles that are 'waist deep' in some cases.

They have also been washed up in Seaton Carew and further North at Seaham.

The Environment Agency confirmed on Monday it has launched an investigation into the occurrence which is considering whether a pollution incident is to blame.

 

Police are appealing for information after these two high value mountain bikes were stolen in Eston.

The bikes were stolen whilst their owners played football with friends behind Eston Leisure Centre at around 5pm on Sunday.

The bikes had been parked up close to where they were playing and two men described as 20-30 years old, in black hooded tops jumped on the cycles and rode off in the direction of the Trunk Road, possibly towards Normanby Road.

The first bike is a black and red Carrera and the second is a black Giant Stance.

If you have any information or have seen the bikes for sale anywhere, please contact Cleveland Police via the non-emergency number 101.

 

Redcar and Cleveland Council has given the green light to a 12-month trial, in which blue recycling bins will be given to residents who need one, would like an additional one, or would like a to swap to a larger one - free of charge.

The decision comes off the back of a waste and recycling survey, which was responded to by over 3000 people this summer; and revealed a significant demand for the capacity to recycle more.

Since the survey, the council has responded by offering free composting bins to those residents who wished to recycle organic and other biodegradable waste, and now, additional or larger blue bins are also being made available.

Residents who are currently without a bin – or who have one but wish to recycle even more – will be given one at no cost, subject to a visit from the Recycling Team; saving them the current fee of £23 for a 240 litre bin, or £40 for a 360 litre bin.

If you need a blue bin or are a super-recycler who wants to recycle more than your existing bin can hold, you can contact Customer Services on 01642 774774 to request one.
