A COMMUNITY newsletter has received its first grant to help it deliver news to residents on two Darlington estates.

The recently launched Cable Courier is produced by a committee of volunteers and residents in the Cockerton and Branksome areas.

Its treasurer, Gary Jenkinson, has been given £1,985 from the Community Champions Fund to support the venture.

The Cable Courier still needs volunteers from the Cockerton West area to help with its publication. Anyone who would like to help, or has any interesting information to publish, can contact Mr Jenkinson on (01325) 354084 call at 100 Whitby Way, Darlington, or email thecablecourier
