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 for children and young people a Youth Club, A Sports Club or similar rather than being demolished for yet more houses that Spennymoor does not need, we are inundated with new builds and no work for the buyers/tenants to pay for them.
Why is this important?
Because the old school is an important part of Spennymoor's heritage, lots the inhabitants of County Durham were schooled there, it should be a listed building and is certainly a heritage building, it has been left without maintainance probably on purpose to run the building down. It was used as recently as last year for a production of George Gently. It has a large school field attached to it that could well be used for outdoor sports and certainly a running track or rubgy pitch or both, the whole area is short of play areas for children at this end of Spennymoor so all the land could be put to good use, rather than more houses I think we have done our bit for the government/council as far as new houses are concerned.
