RESIDENTS are being urged to have a say in the future of their town.

Hartlepool people have a chance to give their opinions about the new local plan, which maps out sites for housing, commercial, industrial and recreational use.

The latest version, which includes a number of changes following objections and suggestions, is available for public inspection at the civic centre, Bryan Hanson House, Summerhill Visitor Centre and local libraries until Thursday, November 27.

Comments must relate to the changes which have been made, with objections being considered at a public inquiry next year.

The plan will be adopted in the next financial year.
