PLANS to demolish a primary school and build a new one in its place will be back before a town hall committee today.
Last year, councillors approved proposals for the construction of the new Chorley New Road Primary School.
However, amended designs — which include changes to the exact location of the new build, its height, and its games areas — require further approval at a planning committee meeting this afternoon.
Ged Kelly, capital programme manager from Bolton Council, spoke to members of Horwich Town Council last Thursday and said that building work could begin in the second week of August.
The new building would effectively double the size of the current school and will help to cater for children moving into the proposed 1,700-home development at the old Loco Works.
