WORK on a £60,000 scheme to improve a Darlington road will be carried out this weekend.

The borough council will be resurfacing Thompson Street East tomorrow.

The road will be closed from its junction with North Road to The Leas, between 8.30am and 9pm, and people are being asked not to park between 8.15am and 9.15pm.

It is expected the road will also be closed on March 13 and 20 for further works. It could be closed on April 3 if weather conditions delay work.
