Hello welcome back this video was only the 2nd or 3rd video i did, Don`t know why i just never uploaded it so Here it is.
Thanks for watching :)
Years after the closure of the Blue Circle Cement plant in Weardale, County Durham, the land still stands Derelict with the hopes of redevelopment on hold. For the local people, it's been devastating and many families having to move away to find work elsewhere after the closure of the plant in 2002. One of the things they had left was the social club but that was taken from them as well in a suspicious fire.
THE owner of a former cement works site was trying for planning permission for a multi-million pound eco village.
Lafarge UK sold the former Blue Circle cement works in Eastgate, near Stanhope, in 2015, after plans to create a green energy village on the land ground to a halt due to the recession.
The cement works was a major employer in weardale and its closure, in 2002, was a devastating blow to the rural community.
Durham County Council said it was still keen to support the development of the site by any interested parties. And last night, a spokesperson for the owner said: “The owners are continuing to work with the council, who are very supportive, to find a solution for the works site. The new owners believe any solution has to be demand led.
“Although the planning consent for the eco village is still live, all parties recognise that with an estimated cost of delivery in excess of £100 million it was never likely to be built.”
