The council has published more details of their plan to use the old Wood Street Library site for their Families and Homes Hub. Nothing new here as they have been trying to get this site for redevelopment for years as Woodside School tried to get it for their increased numbers, but the council would not let them have it.
The Community wanted to run it as Community Centre like the Mill, but the council would not engage with the community. They opened the new library but did not invite the community to the opening ceremony so the Consultation starting now is just another "we know best and will ignore the community's views although we will tick the box to say we have consulted".
If the community wants the old iconic building kept it is too late as the council is demolishing it in October!!
