Cheshire East Council have published their Pre-Budget Consultation for 2018/19 and I am dismayed that their proposals include the closure of Alderley Edge Library (along with other libraries in Disley and Prestbury). I firmly believe that libraries continue to provide a vital cultural and educational resource within the communities they serve, as well as providing an important social function for residents who may be living in isolation. Closing our library would be a retrograde step, particularly taking into account the relatively minor cost saving of £50,000 to CEC from doing so. The consultation document can be found at:
http://cheshireeast.gov.uk/council_and_democracy/your_council/council_finance_and_governance/cheshire_east_budget/cheshire_east_budget.aspx and I would like to encourage all residents to make their voices heard loud and clear, by completing the online consultation at: surveys.cheshireeast.gov.uk/s/CEBudget18/
