A LOCAL council is asking for feedback from residents on a recently published document stating how the authority plans to increase community involvement in the borough.

Stockton Borough Council wants people to comment on its draft statement of community involvement, which will guide the development of the area over the next ten to 15 years.

It sets out how the council intends to involve the community, when there will be opportunities to comment on plans and what sort of consultation methods will be used.

Copies of the document and further information can be obtained from the council by ringing (01642) 526053.

Comments should be put in writing and sent to the Development Plan Manager at Planning and Environment, Development and Neighbour- hood Services, Gloucester House, Church Road, Stockton-on-Tees, TS18 1TW, by July 8.
