AN open day at Stockton Town Hall is one of a series of activities being planned to mark Local Democracy Week.

The event, which takes place on Wednesday, will be an opportunity for people to find out things they did not know about Stockton's past and present and to meet the mayor, Councillor Ann Cains, and other council representatives.

Other events planned as part of the week, which runs from Monday to Sunday, include school activities, and a quiz based on the council's website www.stockton.gov.uk

Anyone who wants more information about the open day, and other events taking place, is asked to contact the council's democratic services on (01642) 393064.
