A WEBSITE giving advice on weapons has proved a hit with shotgun and firearms owners.

The Cleveland Police site - www.cleveland.police.uk - has received scores of visitors since its launch. The site contains facts and figures about guns and forms for people wanting to apply for a gun licence.

PC George Ditchburn, firearms licensing enquiries officer, said: "The feedback we have had from people using it is very positive. It is designed to provide accurate and up-to-date information in an easily accessible mode."
