Petty tactics
Submitted by Anonymous on Wed, 2011-08-10 13:43.It is no coincidence that three of the libraries targeted for closure are in more affluent parts of the borough. The council has argued that these libraries have low rates of book borrowing, yet their own facts show this to be untrue. Labour wants to sell us the line that the cuts are necessary and the Conservative govenment is the real villain. What seems clear is that Labour is more interested in petty political points scoring than supporting the clearly expressed wish of Camden residents to keep libraries open. There is no shortage of constructive solutions, if they are prepared to look for them.
