PEOPLE in north Durham have been asked to talk about community issues at a series of drop-in sessions.

Residents of South Stanley are invited to call in and discuss any concerns about their neighbourhood with representatives from Durham County Council, Durham Constabulary and other agencies.

A council spokesman said: “All issues raised will be investigated by the appropriate organisation and will be dealt with as quickly and effectively as possible.”

Organised by the Safe Durham Partnership, the first session takes place on Friday, with follow-up drop-ins on November 2 and December 7.

All events take place from 11am to 1pm at the St Stephen’s Centre, Holly Hill Gardens, Stanley. For more information call 0191-375-2650.
