Campaigners are desperate for an answer
Campaigners say Nottingham City Council is being "disrespectful" after a final decision on saving three libraries was pushed back by a month. The authority first revealed at the start of the year that it was planning to close three libraries to save £233,000.
A closed meeting in November then saw Labour councillors reportedly voting to save the three libraries. But this decision is yet to be officially confirmed by Nottingham City Council's executive board.The issue was due to be discussed at the final executive board meeting of the year on Tuesday , after it was originally due for debate at the board's November meeting. But Nottingham City Council says that it will not be discussed until the board's meeting on January 17.
"The issue has been that when the options for the future of these libraries were unveiled, business as usual was not one of those options. But keeping the libraries as they are won't cost any extra money and so we're hoping that this delay is the council trying to work out how to present its final decision.
But other campaigners expressed anger when Councillors Rebecca Langton and Pavlos Kotsonis came outside to meet them before Tuesday's executive board meeting, December 20. One protestor told them they were being "disrespectful" by pushing back the decision.
