Five examples of how you can help Covid fight

Everyone has a role to play, whatever you're doing. That's the simple message from Middlesbrough Mayor Andy Preston as he urges the town to keep up the fight against Covid. As of Friday, Middlesbrough's infection rate was 36.2 per 100,000 of population. The town remains on the government's Covid watchlist.

Views sought on Marton West neighbourhood plan

Local residents are being asked for their views on future development in a key Middlesbrough Community. Over the next six weeks they'll have the chance to have their say on the Marton West Neighbourhood Plan. Those views - which can be submitted until Monday, October 26 - will then be fed into an independent public examination.

Views sought on bigger bins and fortnightly collections

The move - aimed at boosting recycling rates, reducing carbon emissions and waste going to landfill and saving money - would see household waste and recycling collected every two weeks.
