A COMMUNITY partnership is planning a summer packed with festivities to celebrate its town.
During June, Crook Community Partnership, working with Wear Valley District Council, will bring a celebration of the arts to Crook in an attempt to increase awareness about its work.
Street parties, music and art displays around the town centre are just some of the entertainment that residents can expect in the week beginning June 26.
Partnership chairman Graeme Fancourt said: "We want to encourage people to join us because the more members we have the more we can do. And what better way than to throw a couple of parties."
The partnership has been up and running in Hope Street since the late 1990s and is responsible for bringing closed-circuit television cameras to Crook and funding and hanging the Christmas tree lights. It operates a drop-in policy from Monday to Friday 9am to noon.
