A COMMUNITY mediation service is to continue for a second year after securing extra funding, it was announced last week.
The Hambleton Community Safety Partnership joined forces with Teesside-based UNITE a year ago - the first time the group had moved into a large rural area.
The partnership between the two organisations has given Hambleton residents free access to trained mediators to tackle neighbour disputes and domestic problems.
And partnership chairman, Dr David Smith, has now revealed that the service will press ahead for another year after its initial success.
Dr Smith said: "We have been pleased with the way the scheme has worked so far and are looking forward to another successful 12 months' work with UNITE."
