THERE is a chance to learn more about Hartlepool's £54m New Deal for Communities (NDC) programme from next week.

A display highlighting the progress of current schemes and outlining future proposals will be on show at the town's Central Library, in York Road, from Monday until July 12.

NDC community involvement team members, Louise Anderson and Jill Lundrigan, will be present between 10am and noon, from Monday to next Friday, to answer questions, provide further information and take on board residents' comments.

NDC in Hartlepool has received £54m of Government money to spend over ten years in an area stretching from Hart Lane to Belle Vue.

Projects aim to improve health, raise education standards, reduce crime and improve housing.
