SAVE THE ALDERMAN WRAITH SCHOOL
Save the old school from being demolished, it could be put to better use if it was sold for use as something other than being demolished for yet more houses that Spennymoor does not need, we are inundated with new builds but no work for the buyers/tenants to pay for them.
Why is this important?
Because the old school is part of our heritage there are people in County Durham whose careers were started in this school, the building has been left without maintenance for a number of years, this is a grand old building and could be put to better use as a Youth Club there are lots of rooms which could be used for various projects, the huge school field could be used as a running track for budding athletes, there is enough room for a rubgy/football/cricket pitches, the children at this end of Spennymoor are lacking playing areas.
I think Spennymoor has more than done their bit with regards to houses, the government/county council should now be looking elsewhere for spare land to build more houses, we are inundated and don't need more. The building was used recently for a BBC1 production of George Gentley and there must be other uses to numerous to mention here where the old school could be used.
