Stockton eyesore building to be demolished
A 50-year-old derelict office block on Teesside which has been vandalised over the years is to be demolished.
After years of legal wrangling, Stockton Council is to bulldoze Billingham House and will charge the cost to its owner Bizzy B Management.
The former ICI headquarters, in Belasis Avenue, has been attacked by arsonists and vandals over the years and is considered an eyesore by locals.

It will be pulled down in the New Year when a contractor has been found.
