Private school’s plan to overturn 1970s ruling and open sports pitches to community

Proposals to let the community use a private school’s playing fields are to be decided by councillors.

The Yarm School playing field at Aislaby Road, Eaglescliffe has had approval since 1979 for pitches to be used by the school only and not to be hired or let out to others. But the school’s new proposal will allow partners, community groups and wider community use for playing sports at the site.
