Sheffield’s Labour bosses are still keeping residents in the dark about their plans to shut up to half of our local libraries.

Hundreds of residents in Woodseats, Norton and Norton Lees are among 12,500 who have now signed the petition to save the

libraries – but Labour bosses have refused to rule out closing Woodseats, Jordanthorpe or Greenhill libraries.

Biggest petition for a decade

Local Lib Dem Steve Ayris (above left) has been campaigning to save Woodseats and Greenhill libraries from closure.

Steve said:

“Despite the biggest petition in a decade Labour still want to shut our libraries – but they won’t come clean and say which libraries they want to axe.”

Steve and his Lib Dem colleagues, Ian Auckland, Denise Reaney and Bob McCann have called on the council to stop the Town Hall makeover and slash its multi-million pound consultancy budget in order to protect libraries.

Steve added:

“To spend millions on consultants and the Town Hall while shutting libraries tells you everything you need to know about Labour in Sheffield. They can’t be trusted with our money or our services.”
