A 'flagship' new special school under construction has been hit by a fire, with council bosses now working to assess whether the damage caused will impact its planned opening this September.
Firefighters from across Greater Manchester spent more than four hours tackling a blaze at the site of the multi-million pound new Lisburne School off Fairway in Offerton, Stockport, near the current Castle Hill High School.
Lisburne School is a primary-aged special school for children with learning difficulties and is spread over three sites, with its main building on Half Moon Lane in Offerton. The new building is on the site of the former Offerton High School, which has been demolished.
