PEOPLE in Hartlepool are being encouraged to take part in a range of exercise courses next month to gain a healthier lifestyle.

Hartlepool Borough Council and Hartlepool Primary Care Trust are behind the ten-week sessions, which are being held at Rossmere Youth Centre and West View Community Centre.

There are four separate courses, the first of which starts on September 19.
