PLANS for a play area at Seaton Carew are to be discussed by councillors this week following consultation with youngsters.

Seaton Park play area has been identified as a priority for redevelopment due to the lack of good quality play equipment. The development will be funded by £30,000 of Hartlepool Borough Council capital funding and £60,000 from the Single Regneration Programme, which funds part of the Seaton Carew Renaissance Project.

Children from Seaton Carew Nursery and Holy Trinity Primary School were consulted over the plans, while pupils from Golden Flatts Primary School are also being asked if they would like to modify the design.

The council's south neighbourhood forum will look at the plans on Friday.
