PEOPLE living near a former factory in Ferryhill are being urged to attend a public meeting to discuss what they would like to see on the site.

Sedgefield Borough Council is to hold a series of exhibitions outlining plans for the Praxis Taylor site, which it has purchased with surrounding land.

Dean Bank Residents' Association is to host a meeting on Monday, at Dean Bank Primary School, at 7pm, to gather residents' opinions on the future of the site.

Members will then pass on residents' views to council officers at a series of exhibitions. These will be held on Wednesday, at the school, from 4pm to 7pm, and at the Neighbourhood Watch warden's house on the next three days.

Proposals will also be on display at Ferryhill Library.
