I have heard suggestions that Darlington is in so much financial mess that it is even contemplating selling off such iconic items as the Dolphin Centre and the Arts Centre .........................mind you that is about all that is left.

I remember the real reason why Beaumont Hill School was closed and PFI obtained to build the Education Village...........it was the sale of the land which they needed to pay off a £6 million deficit in 2003.

Watch this space for more news as we get it.
