Denise Lelliott, RMBC cabinet member for jobs and the local economy, said: “This refurbishment has made a real difference to our community hub in the heart of Swinton.

“The Civic Hall now offers visitors better facilities and greater comfort. It’s welcome news for Swinton.”

The existing library, off Station Street, will be demolished and landscaped, while the existing council customer service centre will house the new library.

Improved walkways will make it easier to get to Civic Square, the new library and homes – all of which aim to bring more visitors to the town centre.
