Decision details
Update on the Libraries Transformation Programme
Decision Maker: Cabinet
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
To consider proposals for modified library
opening hours.
Decisions:
15.1 The Cabinet considered a report by the Director of Communities, Economy and Transport.
15.2 It was RESOLVED to (1) approve the proposed changes to library opening hours in Appendix 3; and
(2) note the progress on the other aspects of the Libraries’ Transformation Programme.
Reason
15.3 Based on the results of the libraries Opening Hours Consultation and the final Rationale and Impact Assessment, the proposals for library opening hours have been revised. However, if implemented they would still deliver the full year savings of £500k originally identified and contribute to the overall Library Transformation Programme savings target of £2m. The consultation has enabled the County Council to ensure the impacts of the proposals are fully understood and they have been revised to have the minimum impact on current service users.
