CREDITORS have applied to the Official Receiver to have a Darlington businessman declared bankrupt.
A petition has been sent to Darlington County Court to wind up Christopher Humble's business.
Mr Humble, of Eldon Street, Darlington, who is presently living in Leyburn Road, is the owner of the Kids Club 2K play centre, in North Road.
The premises were opened in July last year and the centre, which provided pre and after-school care, was registered for 60 child-care places.
The business has since closed and the children have been able to find places elsewhere in the town.
Mr Humble also owns the North Road Leisure Centre and building design firm Plans Prepared.
A bankruptcy order was made against Mr Humble on July 18.
The first meeting of creditors will be on October 9, at 2pm, at the Official Receiver's officer at St Mark's House, St Mark's Court, Thornaby.
