The former Oxley Day Training Centre in Probert Road, Oxley, closed down around seven years ago and has been a magnet for anti-social behaviour.

But now the site is set to be demolished and cleared during late spring this year for the health centre and for a mix of 23 housing units across the site.

Councillor Adam Collinge, who represents the area and has been campaigning for a development there, said: "I absolutely welcome this. It's a long-time coming, it's long overdue – it's been shut for seven year and it has been a blight on the local community ever since.
