00:00 I'm Imogen Hothand, time for your North East News update.
00:05 A week of targeted activity in the Meadowwell estate has seen a string of arrests and enforcement
00:10 action made by police.
00:12 Drug dealing, anti-social behaviour and violent disorder were all targeted in the North Shields
00:17 estate to help tackle serious and organised crime.
00:20 The Conservatives' North East Mayor candidate has said he wants to get rid of the clean
00:24 air zone in Newcastle.
00:26 Council leaders have said the Mayor would have no control over this as it is a legal
00:30 order from the government.
00:32 But Guy Renner-Thompson said he would oppose the creation of low traffic neighbourhoods
00:36 or clean air zones if he is elected.
00:39 And finally, Rick Astley has been announced as one of the headliners for next year's
00:42 Mouth of the Tyne Festival.
00:44 The world famous performer will be at the Tyne Mouth Priory in Castle on the 12th of
00:47 July next year, alongside many other acts that will be announced after Christmas.
