According to reports, the Rochdale set is likely to be demolished.

According to Digital Spy:

Waterloo Road‘s current set in Rochdale is likely to be demolished, a report has claimed.

The BBC drama is currently based in the town’s former Hill Top School but will soon move to a new home in Scotland, as announced earlier this year.

Rochdale Online now reports that no further use has been identified for the former school. As a result, local councillors are expected to meet next week to discuss whether it should be knocked down.
A report to be submitted to councillors apparently reads: "No use can be identified for the buildings in the short to medium term. If not demolished they would be empty, incurring costs for security and presenting high health and safety risk.

"It would not be appropriate to seek a use for the buildings in the longer term because the site is identified as part of the approved clearance programme for the implementation of the Kirkholt regeneration plan."

Waterloo Road is expected to finish filming in Rochdale early next year. Production will then move to Greenock in Scotland for episodes which will air in September 2012.

The show’s move will be explained on screen when an "explosive" storyline leads to a group of existing pupils and teachers setting up a new independent school in Scotland, which will also use the Waterloo Road name.
