A MINIATURE town fashioned by children could provide the inspiration for improvements to the commun- ity.
When Derwentside District Council commissioned a community survey to be carried out in Annfield Plain, near Stanley, they asked pupils at Annfield Plain Junior School to put the finishing touches to a model town.
The model, painstakingly painted by the youngsters, will now be taken round the town to help residents come up with potential improvements.
Yesterday, it was given its first public airing at Annfield Plain's Co-Op store.
Gillian Fortune, who is co-ordinating the survey, said: "It is extremely important that as many community members as possible come along to these events. If they don't, then their ideas will not be heard."
