THE face of Redcar's High Street is set to change thanks to the town's Rotary Club.

The club has proposed that a new four metre high clock should be installed on the plinth site at Redcar's pedestrianised High Street, opposite Bath Street.

The plinth was designed to accommodate a focal feature for the town to mark the new Millennium.

Dr Joan Rees, director of the economy and the environment for Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council told members of the council executive, who met on Tuesday, that the project will cost £11,734.

The rotary club has already raised almost £5,000 and Cleveland Arts has a fund of more than £7,000 earmarked for the project.
