Sir Graham Brady backs campaign to save Altrincham Town Hall ahead of crunch meeting
MP Sir Graham Brady has backed the campaign to save Altrincham Town hall for 'community use' ahead of a crunch Trafford council meeting. The Altrincham and Sale West MP has called on the Labour-controlled council to abandon plans to 'dispose' of the building - a popular venue for weddings and community events.
"But it is true to say that this is the second time in the last 20 years we've had to fight a campaign locally to save this wonderful building and both times have been when Labour was in control at Trafford town hall." Sir Graham, who holds his constituency surgery in the building, was joined by members of Altrincham and Bowdon Civic Society and Hale Civic Society on the steps of the town hall on Friday to make their views clear.
"I think the council could actually have done more to maximise the revenue for community use," said Sir Graham. "It's a wonderful resource for the community. We have have very few spaces in the south of Trafford and Altrincham in particular, and, as with all these things, if it’s allowed to go it will be gone for good."
"People are prepared to put in so much effort and work and to try to make sure the finances work out as well. So there’s a great resource to be called upon in local people to save a building that they love and I just hope the Labour council will listen to them.”
