The cost of fully restoring Stalybridge’s Civic Hall roof is predicted to soar to nearly £3 million after works were put on hold for months of Town of Culture events.
Tameside council chiefs have agreed to increase the budget for the restoration of the prominent Grade-Two listed building on Trinity Street, which has been the subject of plans to bring it back into use for five years.
Bosses say the Civic Hall roof is in ‘poor condition’ and following surveys in 2019 and 2021 has been found to be ‘beyond repair’.
