LIBERAL Democrat Councillors in Dunston Hill and Whickham East ward of Gateshead are pressing for repairs to be carried out to the historic wall around the former Dunston Hill Hospital.
The wall is now owned by Charles Church Development Ltd who are developing the hospital site for housing.
“The surrounding stone wall is part of the historic character of the area,” said Councillor Peter Maughan, who represents the area on Gateshead Council along with Councillors Allison Chatto and Yvonne McNicol.
“But the wall has been damaged and in some cases, stone has effectively been looted. So I have written to the developers to ask for repairs to the wall to be carried out as a matter of urgency and to ensure it is restored to its original appearance.”
