yarm

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'teesside town' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'runs into old pm around' is the wordplay.
'runs' becomes 'r' (cricket abbreviation).
'into' is an insertion indicator.
'old pm' becomes 'may' (Theresa May).
'around' is a reversal indicator.
'r' going within 'may' is 'mray'.
'mray' back-to-front is 'YARM'.

Can you help me to learn more?
