RESIDENTS are developing plans for a piece of public artwork that will reflect the history of their area.

The project, by the residents' association group for South Pelaw, Chester-le-Street, is in the early stages.

The association has joined forces with pupils at Chester-le-Street Church of England Junior School to generate design ideas.

The group would welcome contributions from other people in the area.
