A long hard local and national campaign to save 11 libraries on The Wirral has achieved its goal. All eleven libraries have been saved in a U-turn decision by Wirral council.

That means of the fifteen libraries under threat in The Wirral and Swindon, we only lost one. That hurts, but it could have been worse.

Which council is next? Somerset, I think. They are hoping to close 3 in addition to the three they closed 2 years ago.
