Saturday morning, along with Cllr Tom Anderson and local Library users, Geoff Gubb, Vida, Jasmin, David and James, I visited Upton Library. We were there collecting signatures in a bid to prevent its closure, and people were clambering to sign our petition. For such a closure would rip the heart out of the local area. Upton library is a vital part of the local community, from the young to the old, all use this much loved facility.

From there Tom and I went to meet regular users of the Woodchurch Leisure Centre all of them outraged at the possibility of such a closure.  What is going on? How can this be happening? Why didn’t the council know the budget was in such a bad way? What are Labour and the Liberals doing?  Those were just some of the questions the local residents wanted answered.

From there I met with Wendy Clements speaking with local library users and  collecting signatures outside our Irby Library and from there to Pensby and Hoylake.

The scale of these closures and the suddeness of these closures are unacceptable and we will be fighting along with local residents against them
