RESIDENTS are being invited to help shape a park's future.

Their views are to be included in a draft development plan for Redcar's Locke Park.

The blueprint is being compiled by historic landscape and environmental consultants Scott Wilson, and will be available for consultation next month.

People will be given an opportunity to contribute their views at the Locke Park free family gala, being opened by Redcar and Cleveland's mayor, Councillor Norah Cooney, on Saturday.

The gala will include a display of plans showing how improvements to the park could be carried out.

There will be a prize draw for completed questionnaires. Similar displays are also on show at Redcar Central Library and Redcar and Cleveland House, Kirkleatham Street, Redcar.
