Library plans All pain and no gain- Local author backs Councillor’s campaign to save local Libraries
Local Councillor and Lib Dem parliamentary candidate for Bosworth Michael Mullaney was approached by local author Stewart Bint who offered his support to Michael Mullaney's fight to save threatened local libraries. Michael Mullaney met Mr Bint, from Desford, at the Desford Library to discuss the campaign. Michael Mullaney said "It's great to see local authors backing the campaign to save our local Libraries. Here in Hinckley and Bosworth we have eight local Libraries under threat. Desford, Barwell, Burbage, Newbold Verdon, Markfield, Ratby, Groby and Market Bosworth could be closed by Conservative run Leicestershire County Council. "The County Council are saying that if volunteers can't be found to run these Libraries they will close. "It would be a tragedy to lose these important community facilities, especially as many of these villages have lost other services and amenities over the years. "These threats to Libraries are unlikely to even save much money. The County Council wants to save £800,000
