A nearly £1m project to help provide a "lifeline" for vulnerable members of society in a town is starting to take shape.
Work on the Lifeline Community Action Hub officially began in Newton Aycliffe last week following years of campaigning by the local neighbourhood policing team and other partners.
Their aim is to create a one-stop space in the town for anyone who needs help, advice, or support.
The Hub, which will be based at the former Woolworth’s store, in Beveridge Way, will offer vital services for all those in need.
Members of the policing team will also have a “touch-down area”, enabling officers to be on-hand if required.
