THREAT TO LIBRARY SERVICES IN WEST MERSEA

WITHDRAW ANY THREAT TO STOP SUPPORT FOR LIBRARY SERVICES IN WEST MERSEA. THE LIBRARY IN WEST MERSEA PROVIDES AN EXCELLENT SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY BOTH IN THE PROVISION OF BOOKS AND MATERIAL AND AS A CENTRE FOR CONTACT AND INFORMATION. THE ELDERLY AND THE YOUNG WILL BE PARTICULARLY AFFECTED.  BOOKS ARE AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT TO A CIVILISED SOCIETY. LOCAL AUTHORITIES HAVE A LONG HISTORY IN SUPPORTING LIBRARIES AND MUST NOT TURN THEIR BACK ON THIS TRADITION THAT HAS LASTED OVER 100 YEARS. THE LIBRARY NEEDS PUBLIC FUNDING AND LOCAL AUTHORITY SUPPORT AND WE CALL UPON ESSEX CC TO REJECT ANY STEPS TO REDUCE PUBLIC FUNDING. WE CALL UPON OUR LOCAL COUNTY COUNCILLOR AND CHAIR OF THE ESSEX CC TO VIGOROULY OPPOSE ANY REDUCTION IN THE SUPPORT BY ESSEX CC FOR WEST MERSEA LIBRARY AND TO ISSUE A PUBLIC STATEMENT ON THIS MATTER.
