COUNCIL chiefs are poised to take charge of financial aspects of the £473,000 revamp of a community centre in Darlington.
Red Hall Community Association is preparing to carry out the major refurbishment and extension project.
Money has been secured from various sources, including the Big Lottery Fund and the Henry Smith Fund.
The scheme is part of an initiative which will also see more facilities made available for nursery children at the nearby Red Hall Primary School.
Darlington Borough Council's corporate services department has been asked to monitor the finances of the Red Hall Community Centre project.
In a report to cabinet members, who meet on Tuesday, development director John Buxton said the finances would be managed professionally by town hall staff.
