PEOPLE in Hartlepool are being urged to comment on plans for a £2.5m transport interchange in the town.

About 700 feedback forms given out at four information displays and a two-day public exhibition are still in circulation and must be returned by today.

It is intended to include a summary of the comments in a report that will form part of a planning application.

The interchange scheme will connect train, bus, coach and taxi services in a central location and improve transport links to developments within the marina.

Land near the Marina Gateway Bridge, next to the railway station, has been chosen for the development, which it is hoped will be in operation by the end of next year.
