PEOPLE with hearing problems are being given the chance to question council leaders about services.

Co.deaf, an organisation promoting equality of access for people, is holding a forum at the headquarters of Durham County Council on Friday, November 22.

People with hearing loss will be able to ask about services available for them.

They will be answered by a panel of eight, including Bishop Auckland MP Derek Foster and county council leader Ken Manton and some cabinet colleagues.

The forum, in the council chamber at County Hall, Durham, will start at 6.30pm.
