A proposal a few years ago (prior to Peter Huntley's departure and death) was that Chester-Le-Street and Stanley were to merge into a site in the Birtley area with Washington being split into two with half the operation moving to Birtley and the rest to Deptford. Percy Main was planned to move to a newer site within the Tyne Tunnel Industrial Estate but I think these will all be on the back burner for now.
