Reddish Baths / Fire Station / Library
Nearly every council in the country must be having the same problems. They have buildings they would rather pull down to build new ones.
WHY ? The answer is usually money.
Stockport has Reddish Library, a beautiful building, just not old enough to fit into the category of buildings worth saving.
But the Government has come up with an answer, and it's the Big Lottery Fund, £30 million intended for underused public buildings.
The details can be found at www.cabinet-office.gov.uk then go to third sector.
