Council still searching for prison developer a year after acquisition

Hambleton District Council is still on the look out for a partner to help redevelop Northallerton’s former prison.

The council bought the site last year and is advertising for a partner to redevelop the 3.4 acre site in the centre of town.

It's hoped the prison that was closed two years ago will be turned into a mixed-use development retail, leisure, housing and a small hotel.

Developers can visit the Northerallerton Prison Development Websitefor more information.

The work is due to finish by 2019.
