A £450,000 plan to tackle flooding problems in east Cleveland has been announced.
The plan will tackle drainage problems at three sites across the district.
Work will be carried out at the closed landfill site at Deepdale Road, Loftus, the culvert grille at St Helen's Close, Eston, and homes on the A174 at Carlin How, which regularly suffer flooding.
Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council is also planning a series of smaller schemes at Marske, New Marske and Normanby for future works.
In a separate move also announced yesterday, the council has increased its environmental maintenance budget by £300,000.
The money will create about 12 street cleaning jobs.
The cash will also lead to the creation of litter-free zones in Redcar's pedestrianised High Street, starting in May.
