A TEESSIDE housing estate is getting a spring clean - and some advice.
A multi-agency taskforce is going into the Bankfields estate at Eston, near Middlesbrough, for a week of tidy-up activities, backed by a series of family fun events and advice sessions.
There will be daily clean-ups around the estate, housing advice and welfare rights surgeries, home fire safety checks and free dog micro-chipping, as part of Operation ECO (Environment Challenges Opportunity).
Residents are to receive a leaflet, with a timetable and a map to show event locations.
Councillor Bob Stanway, Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council's cabinet member for environmental improvement, said: "This promises to be a really good week, plenty to do and plenty of opportunities to show how committed we are to creating a clean, green and safe borough."
The events include an Eston Hills history walk on Monday, an Earth Walk in the grounds of Bankfields Primary School on Tuesday, a birdwatching event at Flatts Lane Woodland Country Park on Wednesday, and an Eco Walk on the Eston Hills on Friday, June 9.
