RESIDENTS across Stockton borough are being reminded they have until tomorrow to give their views on the future of a council structure.

The council has asked residents to consider three possible options, which are: a cabinet with a leader elected by the council, a directly-elected mayor and cabinet, and a directly-elected executive mayor and council manager.

One of the ways that householders can do this is by completing and returning the leaflets which have been dropping through letterboxes across the borough for the past few weeks.

However, the cut-off point for householders to give their views on Stockton Borough Council's future decision-making process is fast approaching and residents are being urged to act now.

Geoff Brown, director of personnel and communications for the council said: "We want to hear what residents have to say about the future of the council, and I urge people to respond this week. This is the only way we can know which model the people of Stockton want.
