PEOPLE who use social services in Darlington are being invited to have their say about its future.

The Government's Joint Review Team is visiting the town to find out how well the council's social services meet the needs of the community.

Every social service department in the country will be visited by the team, which will make recommendations for any improvements needed to the individual services.

A series of meetings are being held in Darlington on Wednesday, November 21, for anyone interested in expressing their views about the town's social services department and its work.

Anyone interested in attending one of the meetings can telephone (01325) 254662 for details.
