A CAMPAIGN to raise awareness of new office space in Darlington has been launched.

Darlington Advantage will be aiming to highlight the benefits of locating a new business in the town.

Darlington Borough Council and Tees Valley Regeneration have joined forces with developers City and Northern, Gort Securities and Marchday plc to launch the initiative.

It will focus on the transport, economic and lifestyle advantages of moving to the town.

Darlington MP Alan Milburn said: "Darlington has a terrific transport infrastructure with excellent road, rail and air links.

"There is a multi-skilled workforce and the town offers a good lifestyle with shops and leisure facilities readily-accessible and wonderful countryside and coastal areas within easy reach.

"Add to these the high quality office space which is available and it is easy to see why this initiative has been called Darlington Advantage."
