THE building of a school at a seaside town has been approved.

Bydales Secondary School, in Marlborough Road, Marske, near Saltburn, east Cleveland, will be demolished and a new school built in its place.

The building will be two-storeys with three wings projecting from a central hub.

Access for traffic will be from the Coast Road.

There are also plans to demolish South Bank Primary School, at Poplar Grove, South Bank, Teesside, and build a new school.

Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council's planning committee decided to visit the site before making a decision on approval for the scheme.
