The County Council is proposing to reduce the opening hours at Cambridge Central Library by one hour each day, apart from on Sundays.

Full details of the proposed changes can be found in the online consultation, here.

Market ward County Councillor Sarah Whitebread is keen that residents submit their views to the County Council before the consultation closes on the 18th June 2011. She commented “The Liberal Democrat group have consistently opposed cuts to the Library Service, but sadly the Conservatives in control have not listened.  It’s important that as many residents as possible complete this survey to let the County know how much we all value the library service, and want funding for it to be maintained.”

A petition has been organised against the cuts to the service which can also be signed online here.
