Positive discussions have taken place between Telford & Wrekin Council and Madeley Town Council with a view to saving the town’s library & First Point Service.
Madeley Library was one of six earmarked for possible closure in Telford & Wrekin Council’s budget proposals – as the council strives to make £30m of cuts.
However, since then a drive to establish community partnerships to enable libraries to be delivered in a different way has resulted in announcements that Hadley, Dawley and Newport libraries will all continue.
No final decisions have been taken but one of the preferred options is for the Library to move into the Anstice Memorial Hall – which historically used to house Madeley Library.
Stirchley Library is set to soon be run by Stirchley & Brookside Parish Council.
Meanwhile talks are progressing well with community organisations led by the Brookside Big Local Partnership (BBLP) and supported by the parish council on the future of Brookside Central.
