GATESHEAD Council are to go ahead with the closure of Lobley Hill Library despite a petition signed by 1000 residents calling for the building to be saved.
Lib Dem Councillor Allison Chatto said, "I am very disappointed the Council has taken this decision. Many people use the library and its loss will be felt by many.
Lobley Hill Lib Dem campaigner Susan Craig said, "Labour’s behaviour has been questionable over the Library.
"They posed as the champion of local library provision, then blamed council officers to the proposals to close the library, then voted through the closure against the wishes of local residents"
