NEW ONLINE POLL – WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE A NEW LIBRARY BUILT IN GRANT THOROLD PARK?


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.
