'This new exhibition is our way of ensuring that today's artisans will not be forgotten'
A new council exhibition will show off photos taken during the delayed and £76m over-budget restoration of Manchester Town Hall.
Work was first expected to finish this year, but fell behind due to the pandemic and staff ‘discovering’ a multitude of previously unknown problems.Deputy leader, Coun Garry Bridges, explained why the restoration will cost £430m: “All throughout we've been learning more, and quite often it's only when you're on-site that you discover some of those .
Now, three weeks after the overspend and delays were revealed, the authority has unveiled a new photography exhibition for the project. It’s trying to shine a light on the people behind the work.
