NEW Tory Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries removed an industrial landmark’s listed status today, allowing it to be demolished after campaigners thought it had been saved.
Just one week after Historic England granted Teesside’s Dorman Long Tower Grade II status, it was repealed, meaning the 1955 concrete structure can be flattened.
Tees Valley Conservative Mayor Ben Houchen said removing the tower, an example of brutalist architecture, would allow major redevelopment plans on the former steelworks site in Redcar to go ahead unhindered.
