Sir Gavin re-iterates his backing for Crooked House and support groups
Sir Gavin Williamson has reiterated his support for the campaign to resurrect the Crooked House.
The South Staffordshire MP has said the burning down and demolition of the building was a tragedy and has pledged to do what he can to help the campaign groups in his capacity as MP.
He said there were plans and work going on with South Staffordshire Council and Levelling Up and Housing Secretary Michael Gove, although he said he couldn't elaborate further, and spoke about his own belief that the building should have had listed status.
Sir Gavin said: "I think there's a realisation that we have listed building status that offers protection, but there's a lot of properties and my personal belief is that the Crooked House should have been a listed building and that's what we were working towards before the tragic events that led to its destruction.
"It's an example of a building which should have a level of protection over it as it talks of our history and of the character of the place.
