AN estate is getting a makeover in a cleaning blitz this week.

A series of events will also be held as part of Operation WEB - Westfield Estate Blitz - on a Loftus estate. The week-long effort is the third programme following the success of Operation Spring Clean, covering the Burnmoor and Blayberry Close areas of Redcar and Operation BOWL - Blitz on Wilton Lane - at Guisborough.

Today and tomorrow, there will be graffiti removal, highway repairs and gully cleaning, home fire safety checks and building maintenance work. The programme includes shrub maintenance by the National Probation Service, Coast and Country housing advice surgeries, welfare rights advice and dog micro-chipping, all at the exhibition unit in Lime Walk.

SureStart is hosting story-telling sessions, a toddler group, bulb-planting, seed gathering and planting and a session to make fun and healthy lunchtime snacks.
