Stockport council's leader has slammed her opponents' 'Harry Potter politics’ as bosses finally signed off on controversial plans to move the town’s central library.
Chiefs had already approved proposals to move the service from its historic home on the A6 to ‘Stockroom’ - a £47,000 sqft ‘learning and discovery centre’ at Merseyway.
But significant opposition to the project remained, leading to the Tory and Lib Dems groups ‘calling in’ the decision, and the issue again being debated at a meeting of the full council.
