Planned repairs to the roof of Stalybridge Civic Hall aimed at bringing the building back into everyday use have been pushed into next year.
Tameside chiefs are seeking £1 million in levelling up cash to help fund the restoration of the historic building. A recent council report has revealed that repairs to the roof have been delayed until 2023 to allow the building to be used for events linked to the Town of Culture programme.
The long-awaited work to the roof will support bringing the iconic building back into regular use, with the council having already commissioned studies exploring the possibility of turning it into a food hall.
