AN OPEN forum to discuss the £2m restoration of Thornaby Town Hall will take place this week.

Heritage specialist Vision Sense wants to hear people's views on the plans.

Stockton Borough Council is compiling a funding package for the restoration which will include bids to the Heritage Lottery Fund, Tees Valley Single Programme and European Structural Funds.

The meeting will be held tomorrow at the Five Lamps Organisation, in Eldon Street, Thornaby, at 2.30pm.
