John Littlemore, Head of Housing and Community
Services, introduced the report providing a draft response to Kent
County Council’s mobile library consultation.
During discussion it was raised that smaller
rural villages and hamlets that were not near a library stood to
lose out from the proposed changes, and that the old and the young
alike would be affected. It was felt that these comments should be
included in the consultation response.
RESOLVED:
1)
That the response to the KCC Mobile Library Consultation attached
as appendix 1 to the report of the Head of Housing and Community
Services be endorsed; and
2)
That delegated authority be given to the
Head of Housing and Community Services to make suggested amendments
before the final consultation response is submitted.
