It is heartening to see that Public Interest Lawyers (PIL) are challenging Somerset County Council’s decision to withdraw all funding from Bishops Lydeard library. Never one to give up, I have weighed in to support PIL by demanding that the Conservative controlled County Council suspend the funding cuts until the court challenge is complete.

I also found is darkly humorous that Somerset County Council’s own website describes Bishops Lydeard Library as ‘well used with the children’s library particularly well used.’ Is anything safe??Demand to Suspend Library Funding Withdrawal
