TIME is running out for parents to register for a summer play scheme.

The scheme, for children aged five to 11, gets under way in Hartlepool on Monday, July 26 and runs until Friday, August 20.

This year there will be four venues: Bridge Youth Centre; Greatham Community Centre; Rossmere Youth Centre and the Abbey Street Project on the Headland.

Parents must apply to register by post and application forms are still available from the Civic Centre, libraries and other community venues.

Parents will be advised of their child's allocated days the week beginning July 5.
