Councillors urge developer not to demolish former school building for new flats


A FORMER school building could be demolished to make way for a four-storey block of flats – but councillors are calling for its facade to be preserved.
The former King Street School building in Leigh, which was built in the late 19th century, could be knocked down to make way for 29 apartments.
The Gothic revival style building, ‘typical’ of its time, was used as an infant and junior school until the 1980s and was later occupied by Leigh College.
More recently, the premises have been used as a children’s nursery and a gym.
Developer John Littler has applied for planning permission to demolish the building, saying that there are no viable or sustainable alternative uses for it.
