The list of libraries which the Conservative administration on Surrey County Council plans to force local communities to run, or be closed, has grown from 10 to 19 in a report for the September meeting of the County’s Cabinet.
The report has added Ash, Caterham Hill, Frimley Green, Hersham, Horsley, Knaphill, Lightwater, Shepperton and West Byfleet libraries to the existing “under threat” list of Bagshot, Bramley, Byfleet, Ewell Court, Lingfield, New Haws, Stoneleigh, Tattenhams, Viriginia Water and Warlingham. The report says that if local communities don’t take over the running of these libraries “a decision about closure will need to be taken.”
