THE RENAISSANCE of Stockton will be on the agenda again at a meeting next week.

Stockton Renaissance, the Local Strategic Partnership for the town, is to discuss how Tees Valley and regional government can help the town's progress.

David Slater, from the Government Office for the Northeast, will give a presentation about the White Paper, Your Region Your Choice.

John Lowther from the Tees Valley Partnership will talk about the Tees Valley Vision.

Bob Gibson, chairman of Stockton Renaissance, said: "The partnership is at the heart of the regeneration of the borough.

"We operate at a strategic level so we have to be aware of, and involved in, any Government or regional initiatives that will have an impact on the area.

"We are planning for the future."

The meeting, which is open to the public, will take place on Tuesday, at 5pm in the Samsung Centre, Wynyard.
