Sing-songs round the old joanna

TICKLING the ivories . . . Councillor Joy Wrigglesworth with her partner Dave Houle (right) and Councillor Dave Hibbert

PEOPLE can enjoy a right good singsong at Chadderton’s Washbrook Community Centre thanks to a £600 grant.

The money was donated by local councillors Dave Hibbert, David Jones and Joy Wrigglesworth to buy a second-hand piano for the centre in Nelson Way.

They paid for it from the £3,000 budgets which are delegated to every councillor to support local good causes.

Councillor Hibbert was delighted to help with the request from one of the centre users and said: “It seemed like a good idea and a bargain so we went ahead with it.”
