Leader slams 'Harry Potter politics' as long-delayed Stockport library move is finally signed off
02.02.2022 - 20:06 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
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.

A motion was tabled calling on the Labour chiefs to ‘rescind the decision to move Central Library’, while continuing with the £14.5m Stockroom project - which also includes a sensory room, performance space and a café.
But at a meeting on Tuesday night, cabinet members agreed to forge ahead with the plans, which are bankrolled by the government’s Future High Streets Fund.
It appears to bring to an end a lengthy saga which has been hotly debated since details first began to emerge in the autumn of 2020.
