Disused changing rooms in Sutton that have become a magnet for anti-social behaviour could soon be demolished.

The brick-built buildings, with pitched roofs, stand on the recreation grounds at Hill Crescent and Stamper Crescent.

Ashfield District Council has submitted a planning application to its own officers to determine if prior approval is required to knock them down.

The application says: “The buildings are no longer used and have had their services disconnected.

"But they remain an anti-social behaviour and safety issue. We propose controlled demolition, using a mechanical digger, or similar, and grass reinstatement.

"Where possible, rubble will be separated and recycled to minimise the amount of waste going to landfill.”

If permission is granted, the council hopes to complete the demolitions by the end of this month.
