A NEW political group has been set up in east Cleveland.
The Marske Independent Group will not be linked to the East Cleveland Independents.
Founder member, Mike Findley, will stand in the Redcar and Cleveland elections in May.
He said: "The aim will be to encourage local people to join us so that Marske and New Marske can have a voice of their own.
"Hopefully, we will also have people willing to stand as Marske Independent Group candidates for the Longbeck and St Germains wards.
"I'd like to see other towns and villages also form their own political groups."
