Local people are being encouraged to tell Plymouth city council how their neighbourhoods should be improved.

A series of public meetings will be held around the city over the next six weeks and special workshops will try to include young people too.

The local authority already has plans to build thousands of new homes in North Prospect over the next ten years and now councillors want to know how local people would like other areas to change and develop.

They may want to discuss parking, bus services or even the state of their local parks.

Nine workshop and drop-in events are being held throughout the city. They will be taking place on :

*     17 February, 9.30am to 5.30pm at Stoke Library covering the neighbourhoods of Stoke, Morice Town, Keyham and Ford
