A SECOND public meeting about the future of one of Darlington's best-known pubs is to be held.
People living in the Harrowgate Hill area have voiced their concerns over plans to demolish the White Horse Hotel, in North Road.
Proposals to bulldoze the pub for flats development by Premier Homes UK have been submitted to Darlington Borough Council.
About 100 people gathered in Whessoe village hall on Wednesday night to voice their objections to the scheme. They said the pub was a popular local feature and warned that an increase in traffic as a result of the development would cause misery for homeowners.
A second meeting will be held in the hall on Wednesday, April 27, at 7.30pm.
Whessoe Parish Council's vice-chairman, Malcolm Guy, said: "We are planning another one for that date, by which time we should have all the objections in."
The matter is expected to come before a borough council planning committee meeting on May 11.
