DURHAM'S city centre manager is moving on after just six months in the job.
Barry Turnbull, 50, is leaving to become manager of Capital Shopping Centres' Potteries shopping centre in Stoke.
Mr Turnbull is the first city centre manager employed by the Durham City Forum, a public and private partnership set up to attract more visitors and shoppers.
Mr Turnbull, who previously worked as regional commercial manager for Marks and Spencer in Newcastle, said: "I'm going to a very good company and a very exciting job.
"I think Durham is a great city. I have enjoyed working here a lot and it is a shame to leave. It will be a wrench leaving the North-East.
