Lobley Hill “Library”

Readers may recall the battle earlier this year over the future of Lobley Hill Library. Gateshead Council wanted to close the library, but after a campaign by residents and Lib Dem campaigner Susan Craig, the council agreed to install a reduced library in Lobley Hill Community Centre.

“Residents have seen the new library and are not impressed,” said Susan. “It’s seems to be no bigger than a spacious closet and barely big enough to swing a cat, never mind open a book.”
Have any of our Lobley Hill and Dunston Hill readers been to the new “library”? If you have, send us your views. You can email Susan on: susancraig@gatesheadlibdems.org.uk.
