The Sentinel commented Seven former Stoke-on-Trent schools to be bulldozed

Berry Hill High School in Bucknall is among the schools to be demolished.

SEVEN former schools are set to be demolished so the sites can be sold off for redevelopment.

Outline planning consent is being sought to bulldoze the schools, which were replaced as part of the Building Schools for the Future (BSF) programme.

The scheme saw 261 million of Government cash spent on improving all secondary and special schools in the city.

Now Stoke-on-Trent City Council wants to demolish the redundant buildings to make the sites more attractive to potential developers.

It will also help address concerns over them becoming a blight on the landscape and attracting vandalism.

One of the sites the former Edensor Technology College in Longton has been targeted by arsonists several times in the last two months.

The buildings awaiting demolition also include:

The former Berry Hill High;

The ex-Mitchell Business and Enterprise College, Bucknall;
