A guide to healthy living in Stockton has been published by the Health Action Zone.

The booklet gives a ward by ward profile of health and well- being in Stockton, including the location and maps of community and resource centres, sports centres, pharmacies and greengrocers.

Much of the information will answer the most frequently asked questions of health officials in the town.

Pauline Beall, modernisation projects officer for Stockton council said: "Although the profile has only recently been published, a lot of interest has been shown in it.

"Suggestions and details of additional information have also been offered, such as sport centre locations, which we hope to include in the next phase, making it an even more comprehensive document."

The leaflet can be obtained by calling (01642) 393337.
