It was a heart-warming moment to attend the Darlington library reopening after its amazing restoration and refit.
I had the pleasure of meeting the amazing team of people that fought the then ruling Labour group to retain this amazing heritage for the town.
The opening was a day many of us worried would never come. . I am delighted it has finally been delivered and hope those who originally planned its closure can reflect on how wrong they were- I encourage everyone to come and visit and enjoy this fantastic place!
