These are last two.

There is an extra letter generated by the wordplay.

22. Crikey...one goes mad for carp in certain places (4)
extra letter may be C.

18d. Bits regularly taken from kerbstone reconstructed to make partition (6)
The answer may be SCREEN but cannot parse.

I have both the protagonists.

Help appreciated.

Skreen means the same as Screen. Take 'b' and 'i' (BiTs regularly) out of Kerbstone . You're left with 'kersone'. The O is superfluous. Anagram the rest... Skreen.

22a yerk

C is extra

The rest of crikey less one (I) is anagrammed.

Good puzzle I thought.

Also I am missing the third letter of the abbreviation.

30 Cost - damage. It's Con's, prisoner's, and add T from the end of 'riot', ultimately. The N is spare. The preamble mentions clashes.

Thank you Malone. I presume that clash is the one I need!
