400+ TONNES OF WASTE ON A SITE THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BECOME NEW HOMES! 😳
Today I went to see the old Dewhirst site in Peterlee.
Back in 2014, the industrial units were demolished to make way for new houses, and I was one of the people who had to leave the estate because of it.
Fast forward to today and the houses still haven’t been built on the actual site… but more than 400 tonnes of waste has been dumped there instead.
Now the big question is… who’s going to clean all that up, and who’s going to pay for it?
I never thought, all these years later, this is what the site would look like.
Give this a share so people can see what’s happened there.
