Lobley Hill Library Survey

LIBERAL Democrats in Lobley Hill are carrying out a survey of residents’ views about the replacement library services in the area.

The survey is being led by Susan Craig who campaigned earlier this year against the decision by the Labour run Gateshead Council to close Lobley Hill Library.

Although Lobley Hill Library was eventually closed, a smaller part time library was opened in Lobley Hill Community Centre following Susan’s campaign and petition.

“Many people are understandably disappointed with the replacement service,” said Susan. “It is part time and in a very small room which is little bigger than a cupboard.

“So we are asking people for their views and ideas and we will be putting in a report to Gateshead Council based on the results of the survey.”
