LIBERAL Democrat councillors in Whickham have welcomed plans to convert a vandal ridden patch of ground behind the local library into a garden.
The area is to be fenced off and the only access to it in the future will be through the library itself. Once enclosed, the currently paved area will be changed into an attractive garden for library users.
Councillors Peter Craig, Chris Ord and Mary Wallace have given the project their backing.
“There has been a problem with anti-social behaviour at this location,” said Cllr Craig. “By fencing off the site and making a pleasant garden, we will help to cut down on the problem.
“And what better place to read gardening library books than in a garden!?”
