MORE than 1,000 responses have been submitted to the council so far in its ‘Let’s Talk Libraries’ review which will shape the future of libraries across the borough.
Less than three weeks remain until the close of the first stage of the consultation, and the council is urging people to have their say - including those who don’t currently use libraries in order to find out what might make them more likely to visit.
The council hopes to save £165,000 from the libraries budget by 2020.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
