WORK is going ahead on improvements around the Headland promenade in Hartlepool.
Concrete paving slabs along the upper prom are being replaced with sandstone paving and Victorian-style cast iron benches and litter bins will be installed on the upper prom. The lights on the lampposts will be replaced with larger Victorian-style lamps. Railings on the upper promenade will also be repaired.
The £600,000 project, which will be finished later this year, is being funded by the North Hartlepool Partnership as part of a wider range of improvements in keeping with the Headland's heritage.
Consultation is also under way with residents in the Town Wall area on a scheme to revitalise three public seating areas.
Proposals will be displayed in the autumn, with the work due to begin in the new year.
