RESIDENTS will be able to gauge the effects of proposed redevelopments thanks to the creation of a scale model of their area.
Buildings and streets of South Bank, in Middlesbrough, have been recreated in miniature in a model commissioned by its Community Forum.
Peter Weatherley, a community environmental worker at the Forum, said: "When we were going out talking to people about the community in South Bank and how they could reshape their environment, it was a bit difficult talking about something that was not very tangible.
"With the model in place, people can get an overview of the town and see the changes in front of their eyes. "
The model will next be on display at South Bank Library for two weeks, from Monday.
