Libraries

The Sutton Coldfield library will close for good in June, the city council says.

The education department does not have the money to fund or run the Family Library, Tynwald is told.

The consultation has sparked concern over the long-term viability of the centres in Leicester.

Increasing costs and declining incomes are behind the planned closure on 31 July, its directors say.

The city council says it still cannot say when Sherwood library can welcome book lovers.

Slough Borough Council proposed closing Cippenham and Langley libraries in December.

The council said it is facing a £29m budget gap across the next three years.

The library is on the site of the former Palmers store.
