AN ambitious new community partnership scheme is to be launched in Dormanstown next week.
The Dormanstown Ward Community will pull together everyone with a stake in generating a better future for the area and will include residents, community groups, businesses and public bodies.
Already, the police, local schools, churches, community groups and businesses have pledged their support for the forum initiative by signing up as member organisations.
Guest speakers include Jacky Goult, chairman of South Bank Community Forum, and Ted Moss, chairman of FROG - the Future Regeneration of Grangetown. They will talk about how their organisations became key players in developing their areas.
Ian Cockerill and Wendy Kelly, policy officers for Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council, will explain how the area will benefit from the £6.875m won by the Authority for West Redcar's four wards through the latest allocation from the Government's Single Regeneration Budget.
The forum is geared up for lift off at 6.30pm on Wednesday in the St William's Parish Centre, South Avenue, Dormanstown, where it will elect a 21 strong Executive Committee.
