RESIDENTS in Hartlepool's central area are being reminded that the next meeting of their Central Neighbourhood Forum takes place today

The forum, which gives people an opportunity to air views, put points to council officers and discuss ways of improving the area, takes place at 10am in Committee Room B in the town's civic centre.

Among the items at the forum will be a presentation on Hartlepool Action Team for Jobs, and the borough council's dog fouling strategy.

The forum will also consider requests for funding to install gates to improve security in the Burn Valley allotments and to provide extra litter bins in the Milton Road area.

The North Neighbourhood Forum takes place tomorrow at West View Community Centre, Miers Avenue at 10am.

The South Neighbourhood Forum is on Friday at Owton Manor Community Centre, Wynyard Road at 10am.
