A NEW centre providing education and childcare needs for parents in the Roseworth area of Stockton will be unveiled today.

The SureStart Redhill Centre will be opened by two residents from the area, at 10am.

It is the first stage of the new facility for children and parents, which is part of a £6m capital project that will see similar facilities throughout the borough of Stockton.

The aim of the project is to provide early education, childcare and health services for children and their families.

Mike Flood, of SureStart Stockton, said: "This opening should prove to be a fun and entertaining event for young and old alike."
