DERELICT: The former St Peter s school site at Gainford
TEESDALE’S MP is being asked to step in to solve the long-running saga of a Teesdale eyesore.
Gainford Parish Council is requesting that Dehenna Davison puts pressure on Durham County Council to finally find a solution to the problem of St Peter’s.
It comes after a county planning committee last month rejected plans by Kebbell Homes to build houses on its part of the St Peter’s School site because the scheme did not include the redevelopment of the main school building.
The building and the remainder of the site belongs to Ruttle Plant.
