What you said about 'fantastic' community project to tidy up areas of Hartlepool
Residents have been invited to submit suggestions for which places they would like to see made greener and brighter with new flowers, a lick of paint or a freshen up at a meeting being held next week.
The project, masterminded by Jesmond ward councillor Amy Prince and project volunteers Sharon Barnes and Charlotte Randall, aims to brighten up Hartlepool with the community’s ideas.
