"If you're a Boro lad, you support the Boro and grow up on a council estate - to win Citizen of the Year of your home town? To me there's nothing better in the world..."

Two next door drugs dens have been shut down with the occupants booted out after a successful Middlesbrough Council operation. The authority successfully took separate cases to court where it was heard there had been complaints relating to criminal behaviour at the neighbouring addresses on Tennyson Street in the town centre.
