A SURVEY has shown drug use and dealing are top concerns among Stockton folk when it comes to tackling crime and trouble. A consultation carried out for the Safer Stockton Partnership asked people to list their top three concerns in their area as part of a part of a wider survey to shape a plan to tackle problems. It showed “people using and/or dealing drugs” was ranked top in with more than one in seven responses mentioning this. Officials and councillors discussed the findings at Wednesday’s partnership meeting – and how perceptions didn’t necessarily match what was happening on the ground.

This coming week will see councillors assemble virtually to rule on how much householders will pay for services – with rises on the horizon for the majority of Teessiders. But the amounts are expected to vary depending on where you live. Unless you’re entitled to support or exemptions, bills will include a 1.99% increase for Cleveland Police (£177.15 Band A total) and a 1.9% rise for Cleveland Fire Authority (£53.55 at Band A total).
