A meeting which will take place in January will be asked by officials to authorise the demolition of the old Clifton Without Junior School which is currently unused.

A preliminary report says, the building, which is on the site of Canon Lee School, has been unused by the school for over a year due to the school no longer needing the space and the accelerating costs of maintaining the site.

It is a Children’s Services Education and Skills (CSES) asset that has condition issues that are a cause for concern. Inclement weather exacerbates this deterioration.

The building is also a security risk because it is unoccupied.

The Executive Member will be asked for their approval to demolish the Clifton Without Junior building apart from two storage areas used by Canon Lee School.
