A special educational needs school in Wallsend has had its plans to expand approved - despite objections it would lead to further traffic frustrations.
Beacon Hill Primary School, a school specializing in educating children with profound, severe, and or multiple needs, has been given the go-ahead to construct a whole new block. The block will house ten specially designed classrooms for children with Autism spectrum disorder, a staff room and a hygiene room.
The two-storey block will be built on the existing school car park. A new car park will be built on the unused school grounds.
