It's always brilliant to have young people visit us in Town Hall to find out more about what we do as councillors. Today was no exception with one of my young Chorlton residents Edward. ๐Ÿ‘

Really good news about how important our libraries are to Mancunians of all ages. Including, of course the refurbished Chorlton Library. The number of visits to the 23 public libraries in Manchester was 2.9 million in the year to July 25. An increase of 2% on the previous year. @MancLibraries
