THE developer behind a multi-million pound scheme to improve a town's growing tourism reputation will visit the site today.

Giris Rabinovitch, of Sager Management Limited, will be in Hartlepool for meetings with key groups involved in the development of a visitor centre for the HMS Trincomalee Trust and a hotel and conference facility on the quayside.

Mr Rabinovitch will meet representatives of the trust, Hartlepool Borough Council and English Partnerships.

It is hoped the development, on open land between Maritime Avenue and the Jackson Basin, will be the final piece of the marine development.
