WORK to build a college has begun in Stockton.

Shepherd Construction has started work on the learning resource centre which is part of the new Stockton and Billingham College.

The centre will house hundreds of computers on the Teesdale business park.

The combined college will see the two existing campuses in Stockton and Billingham move on to one site, next to the Durham University campus.

The project is due to be completed in November.
