A DVD outlining the variety of public services available in Darlington was launched yesterday.

The Information for All DVD is aimed at people whose first language is not English.

There are contributions from a range of organisations, including Darlington Borough Council, primary care trust, police and fire services.

Council leader John Williams said: "I believe that everyone has a right to access public services.

"The launch of the Information for All DVD is a practical example of how the council and its partners are working to ensure that we extend our services to the broadest range of people in Darlington."
