AN award-winning good neighbour is planning a cart load of fun for youngsters in the New Year.
Terry Dixon could not resist the challenge of restoring an old horse-drawn trap, which he bought in pieces from a traveller.
One of his friends is working on a new backboard for the cart while another is providing an aluminium axle for the wheels.
"My family owns horses and so I thought we would put the two things together,'' said Mr Dixon.
"So we have this little trap and are going to give free rides for the local kiddies.''
The 47-year-old won an award earlier in the year for transforming the cleared site of a warehouse, adjacent to his home at St Hilda's, Middlesbrough.
The site has been transformed into a pocket-sized recreation ground with mini-pitches for children's sports.
Mr Dixon said: "I enjoy doing this community work and this is just another aspect.
"It is just something else to do with the kids.''
