Plastic and Cardboard Recycling
Stockton Council's Waste Education Team are currently delivering a number of promotional events within the community which will give details of the new Plastic and Cardboard collection and recycling service which is now being rolled out across the borough.

The dates and locations of these events in Ingleby Barwick are listed below.

Romano Park Contractor Appointed
The Play Practice, from Stirling, has been chosen as the contractor to design and build Romano Park in Ingleby Barwick. Potential contractors gave presentations to residents, children, councillors and other interested people during September 2008. Detailed designs for Romano Park, the new play space, are now being drawn up.
Romano Park will be a landscaped park with play equipment for children of all ages from toddlers to teenagers. Earlier this year a group of children were invited to get involved in the design process for the park and they were invited along to see the presentations and evaluate them along with other members of the public.
Once the detailed designs have been drawn up it is hoped that work will start on the park in January 2009 and it will be completed by the spring and ready to use in the summer of 2009.

New Golf Clubhouse opens
The new Ingleby Barwick Golf Academy Clubhouse was opened on 14th July 2008. The clubhouse will be a great addition to the golfing and non-golfing community of Ingleby Barwick. The Bistro is open for breakfast, lunch, and evening meals or just for coffee and a snack and is open to the public as well as members of the club. For more details of the facilities and activities available please follow the link to the left of this page. There are some themed fun nights scheduled at the clubhouse during the autumn and winter of 2008 which non members are welcome to attend. There are more details on my What's On in IB page.

Council Access Point - OPEN FOR BUSINESS
Stockton Council has joined forces with Tesco in Ingleby Barwick to launch the first Access Point - a new way for people to find out about Council services.

Every Friday, Council staff will be based at the supermarket from 1pm to 4:30pm, to help people with any questions they have about their Council and the services it offers.

The service will initially focus on giving advice or taking service requests for Council Tax, Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit, and Care For Your Area Services (which include refuse collection, fly tipping and horticultural services).

Customers with questions about other Council services are also encouraged to visit the stand and Customer Services staff will contact their colleagues in these services to find out the answers. There is a private room for anyone who wishes to discuss confidential matters.
