HOMES across Billingham will be receiving the latest news on the town's regeneration this week.

Billingham Forward is the first of what are planned to be regular bulletins on developments in the town.

Published by the Billingham Regeneration partnership, it includes news on training and education opportunities, ways of finding new employment, and the proposed town centre development.

Roger Black, chairman of Billingham Regeneration Partnership Board, said: "Billingham Forward will be an important way of keeping local people informed of the many things that are happening to regenerate the town.

"Communication will be a very important part of the partnership's work and we hope to produce three or four issues a year."
