PEOPLE are being asked for their opinions on how £1.7m should be spent in their community.
Stockton Borough Council is to receive the money for sports and art projects across the borough, with some of it being used to build a sports and arts hall on the site of the Robert Atkinson Youth and Community Centre in Thornaby.
The hall will be used by local schools, and the community and the council is preparing a detailed bid outlining what exactly the hall will offer.
Councillor Alex Cunningham said: "We want the people of Thornaby to tell us what kind of facilities they would like to see at the site."
A special meeting is being held at the community centre in Thorntree Road, Thornaby, on Thursday, from 7.30pm for residents to put forward their ideas.
