When the Liberal Democrats took power in 2006, they scrapped plans developed under the previous Labour Administration to close Libraries – preferring to develop the Library service by making better use of existing buildings and sharing services.

Barham Library has just reopened after a refurbishment and now also houses a children’s centre and the refurbishment of Harlesden Library saw the BACES learning centre re-located there. Kingsbury Library is co-located with a One Stop Shop enabling local residents to access council services easily, without a trip down to the Town Hall.

Now Labour have taken control of Brent Council again however they have revived the plans to close Libraries. 

This means that six Libraries now face closure: 

- Barham Park

- Cricklewood

- Neasden

- Tokyngton

- Kensal Rise

- Preston

Labour are now planning a public consultation on their plans to close Libraries (from November 29th 2010 until March 4th 2011) and Liberal Democrats are urging residents who value their local Library to sign the petition against the closures.

The report on Labour’s Library closure plans is here:

We oppose Labour's plans to close our local library.
