COUNCILLORS will try again next week to reach a final decision on plans to build a pub near a school.

Pathfinder Pubs wants to build the pub close to Alderman Leach Primary School, on the West Park estate, at Faverdale, but Darlington Borough Council deferred a decision last month.

Objectors said the volume of traffic could be dangerous and raised questions about children being taught close to a pub. Councillors were told moral objections did not count.

The plan will be discussed by the borough council on Wednesday.
