Today, I am launching a online poll: you have a simple choice. Would you like to see a new Library built in Grant Thorold Park?
All three East Marsh Ward Councillors have campaigned for a new Library for the East Marsh Ward – the present Library is in urgent need of replacement – it is presently subsiding.
North East Lincolnshire Council is committed to rebuilding a new Library, but members of the Planning Committee voted against the Planning Officer’s recommendation, which appears a little unusual.
The present Library is well used by children, young people, adults, and the elderly – it is one of the most popular Community libraries in the whole of the Borough. Some residents have argued that the new Library would create anti-social behaviour; however many young people presently use the Library as a safe haven and a meeting place – they just meet to have a chat. What is wrong with that, they respect the building and we are sure that they will respect the new building.
The computers are well used, and they are a vital facility for the local residents; in particular local children who often do not have access to a home PC.
If you would like to view the proposed plans for the new and the reasons why the Councillors turned it down
Don’t forget to make sure you vote in this online poll; this poll will close on April 21, 2009.
