CHRISTMAS cards produced by Darlington Borough Council have sold out.

The cards, featuring snowy images of the town, were on sale at the Information Darlington centre, in Horsemarket. Since they went on sale, 500 packs of the cards have been sold. The photographs were taken by the council's tourism and marketing officer, Michelle Van Vlijmen.

Councillor David Lyonette said: "I am delighted that this year's Christmas cards have been so popular and that photos of the borough will be sent around the country and abroad."
