...and it's been revealed that the iconic, Grade II-listed Saltburn Tramway will reopen tomorrow following major repairs after a devastating fire earlier this year.

Police are appealing for footage and witnesses after a woman was injured.

Around 4.35pm on Tuesday police were called to Barnaby Close in Eston where a 31-year-old woman had sustained a stab wound.

She was taken by air ambulance to James Cook University Hospital where her condition is described as "stable" and her injuries are not believed to be life threatening at this time.

A 54-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the incident and he remains in police custody.

Officers believe this was an isolated incident and are not currently aware of any risk to the wider community.

Detectives are appealing for anyone with information or any relevant doorbell, dashcam or private CCTV footage from Barnaby Close and neighbouring streets to contact Cleveland Police on the non-emergency number 101.

A mother and daughter who took their dog along with them whilst they took part in violent disorder in Middlesbrough town centre, have been jailed.

Amanda Walton was jailed for 22 months, and her daughter Megan Davison jailed for 20 months when they appeared at Teesside Crown Court on Monday 23rd September.

The 52-year-old mother was captured on camera causing damage to a red car which was later set alight on Parliament Road in Middlesbrough. She was also caught throwing an object at a house.

Her 24-year-old daughter, Megan Davison, was seen looting the same car as her mother stood watch with their Chow Chow dog, before she climbed onto the car and jumped up and down on the bonnet of the red Suzuki.

Davison was also caught leaving a shop with something hidden up her top.

The pair were abusive towards police, with Watson sticking her middle finger up and goading officers.

It's been revealed that the iconic, Grade II-listed Saltburn Tramway will reopen tomorrow following major repairs after a devastating fire earlier this year.

A decision has been taken to keep the Tramway open daily until January for a longer period than usual so residents and visitors may once again take their chance to enjoy Redcar and Cleveland’s most popular paid-for attraction.

The electrical fire started in the Grade-II listed pump room in January and caused extensive damage.

A full rewire and replacement of bespoke equipment was needed as well as improvements to the control system.

A full maintenance programme also took place.
