RESIDENTS in Hartlepool will get another chance this week to hear about plans which could see their local council run differently.

Three options for the way Hartlepool Borough Council makes decisions are being considered. They would involve a council leader and cabinet, an elected mayor and a cabinet, or an elected mayor and council manager.

Residents can attend one of three meetings, for presentations and a questions session.

They are at West View Community Centre, tomorrow, the Civic Centre, on Thursday, and Owton Manor Community Centre, on Friday.

All households have received a copy of Hartbeat, the council's magazine, which asks residents to choose which option they prefer.

A decision will be announced in December.
