Issue details

In November 2016 Cabinet approved the report ‘Library Review 2016 – Future support arrangements for Volunteer run libraries’.  This report set out its recommendations to provide funding and support to volunteer run Associate and Co-delivered Libraries from 1^st April 2017 to 31^st March 2020. 

The decision on funding and support for years 2020/21 and 2021/22 was delegated to the Cabinet Member and Executive Director.  

Therefore, the purpose of the report is to seek approval for future funding and support for Associate and Co-delivered libraries for years 2020/21 and 2021/22 from the Executive Director and Cabinet Member.

NB This decision record is being published in April 2021 as there was an administration error that meant the original decision was not logged with Democratic Services at the time. All due consultation was made at the time with Cllr Mary Lea as cabinet member for Culture, Parks and Leisure and reconfirmed with her 12/3/21.
