Contractor appointed to finish restoration of Royton Town Hall after frustration that the project had 'stalled'
A contractor has been appointed to finish restoration work on Royton’s historic Town Hall following frustration that the project had ‘stalled’.
The cabinet has now agreed to appoint a contractor to finish work on site, with a completion date estimated by mid-March next year. It is hoped they will start work on the building by April 17. The works include the demolition of the extension buildings and the construction of a new gable end wall, and landscaping the empty space at the back of the building.
“When I became a councillor in 2012 it was on the agenda then and I’m the fifth leader in the past 11 years and we are still yet to see the regeneration of Royton Town Hall and library. “Certain things are out of our control, there is no denying the war in Ukraine, Brexit and things like that have had an impact on this,” she said.
