Councillors in County Durham are considering a ban on the wearing of balaclavas as part of plans to crack down on anti social behaviour - arguing that people who wear the face coverings in public are intimidating. The move would give police new powers to force people to remove their balaclavas in public spaces if they believe they are being worn to cause alarm or to harass. #balacalava #antisocialbehaviour #countydurham by @itvtynetees

A significant clean up operation costing thousands of pounds has begun in Gateshead to clear up what the council has called the worst case of fly-tipping it has ever seen. A total of 15 vehicles were needed to clear the pile of rubbish near houses in Birtley - and investigations are ongoing to find out where it all came from. The council says monitoring the mammoth task of removing waste in residential areas is taking funding away from improving communities. #flytipping #gateshead by @itvtynetees

She’d called the police several days before her death, but it was marked as medium risk. Alice’s family are now calling for changes to stalking laws. The Home Office has been contacted for comment. by @itvtynetees
