RESIDENTS in a busy market town can have their say on plans to improve the lot of pedestrians this week.

An uneven surface has made walking along Yarm High Street something of an obstacle course.

Stockton Borough Council wants to flatten some of the uneven surfaces, but it wants the public's opinion on these plans before it proceeds. Yarm Library will hold a consultation display this week.

Mike Robinson, the council's head of engineering and transport division, said that there were problems for the elderly, less mobile and parents with pushchairs.

He said to get the best solution as many views as possible were sought.

To view the plans call at the library up until Monday.
