THE LIBRARY IS RE-OPENING!
A phone call from the solicitor late this morning confirmed that the Council will not be contesting the Judicial Review. The Library will reopen in 14 days, or less if the necessary arrangements can be made in time.
Huge thanks are due to everyone who has supported the campaign, and our solicitor and barrister. It shows what can be done when the community pulls together.
The new leader of the Council, Andrew Morgan, has issued a statement. In it he says: “I have instructed officers to re-open the library as soon as practicably possible and that it operate for the same hours as it did prior to 31st May 2014.
“I will now ensure a thorough and frank dialogue is undertaken with local residents and users around the future of this facility and how the revised Library Service may support this community. “
Mr Morgan is new in the job, and deserves good will in these early days. But he should be in no doubt that we will hold him to his word. Never again do we want to see an absolutely dreadful decision foisted on us with no discussion, no consultation, and no consideration of what is good for the people, instead of for the councillors.
As soon as we have more news, including the re-opening date of the library, I’ll be in touch straight away.
