A POLICE authority wants to hear people's priorities for its latest strategy.

The Durham Police Authority is inviting the people of County Durham and Darlington to contribute to its Policing Plan for 2009-10.

A public meeting will be held at County Hall, Durham, on Tuesday, December 9, from 6pm.

A questionnaire has also been produced.

Peter Thompson, chair of the authority, said: "We are keen to hear from everyone and understand that not everyone can attend the meetings that we hold.

"With this in mind, we have extended the way you can give us your views through our online questionnaire."
