COUNCILLORS are today expected to approve plans for a two-storey 60 bed residential home for the elderly.
The home will be built on the former Sixth Form College, in Elwick Road, Hartlepool.
The arts and crafts block and the covered playgrounds of the college will be kept, but the main building will be demolished to make way for the home.
Twenty-four-hour care will be provided by staff on a rota basis and it is expected that 45 jobs will be created.
Consent to demolish the listed building, was granted earlier this year.
