A ONE-stop advice shop has opened for teenagers.

Middlesbrough MP Stuart Bell launched the new look Connexions Middlesbrough One Stop Shop.

The centre, in the town's Church Road, offers advice, information, personal advisors and creature comforts including music decks and computers after youngsters told the Connexions support group what they would like.

"The project has helped to build a great rapport between young people and the Connexions staff in Middlesbrough,'' said manager Tanya Sherriff.

"The result is a credit to everyone involved. It will serve as a fantastic centre for the young people of Middlesbrough to gain advice and support they need in life.''
