Campaigners against the proposed demolition of part of a Darlington school are hoping to meet council bosses.

Darlington Borough Council has revealed plans to pull down the infants' area of Corporation Road Primary School.

The plan is part of a £350,000 scheme to create a games area.

Residents and governors launched a campaign against the plan and want the building to be preserved as a community centre.

Parents want to arrange a meeting between governors and the education department.

The council insists that the size of the school must be reduced because of falling pupil numbers. It also says a classroom at the school is to be freed up for community use.
