Council issues statement over 'significant' cut to three Warwickshire libraries

[dutchman]

Campaigners are opposing the plans - and hundreds have backed them



Hundreds of people have signed a petition to stop cuts to Nuneaton, Leamington and Rugby libraries. It was launched following Warwickshire County Council plans to review the opening days of the three libraries.

This could including stopping them all from opening on Sundays, as of next year. Campaigners say this the Sunday closures pose a 'significant threat to the wellbeing of our community'.

Their petition has more than 700 signatures from people who agree that the closures would impact critical resources used by the whole community, especially families and the most vulnerable.

CoventryLive contacted the county council both about the proposals to review the Sunday opening at the libraries as well as the petition.

In a statement, a Shire Hall spokesperson said: "We are currently receiving comments about Sunday opening hours in our libraries and considering them."

The online petition, which aims to get 1,000 signatures, can be found on the change.org website here.
