RUNDOWN parts of Stockton are to be tidied up thanks to a £1m National Lottery grant.
Stockton Borough Council has been given £944,580 by the lottery's New Opportunities Fund to work with other agencies in cleaning up Stockton's streets.
The cash will be used to improve the environment in deprived areas.
Ian Thompson, head of regeneration and economic development at the council, said: "The scheme will build on the commitment made by the council, partners and residents to work in the communities to help put pride back into the neighbourhoods.
