Russell Scott Primary School in Denton could potentially be demolished and rebuilt due to ongoing structural problems.

Denton MP Andrew Gwynne has raised the issue of a matter of concern in the House of Commons this week.

Headteacher Steve Marsland has been left frustrated by the ongoing issues and has questioned the lack of accountability from those in charge.
