AN MP felt a fish out of water yesterday - but could not have been more pleased about it.
Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland MP Ashok Kumar was guest of honour at the unveiling of a fish sculpture at Hemlington, near Middlesbrough.
Created by community artist Mike Smith, the sculpture is the culmination of a joint project between Hemlington Youth Work scheme and two local schools.
The unveiling was the high point of a day-long roadshow to encourage residents to make more use of council services.
There was also a visit by the BBC's new Learning Bus, which allows people to learn about information technology and adult learning opportunities.
