PEOPLE can now pay a virtual visit to one of Teesside's longest-established shopping centres.

Dundas Shopping Centre, in Middlesbrough, has launched a website - www. dundasshopping.co.uk - to help customers window shop, plan their trip and be first in the queue for offers.

"The website is designed to inform people of how to get to the mall and about parking charges, telling them about new outlets, what events and promotions are coming up, and where the best deals can be found," said spokesman Richard Wilson.

The website provides a link to websites of the mall's bigger outlets, including B&M Retail, Inshops, Castlegate Electrics, Principia Bridal and Men's Formal Wear, and Tiktok Jewellers.

Castlegate Electrics owner Colin Boal said: "I would encourage people to take advantage of the website service."
