FRCS FOI 9135 David Taylor - Response FRCS FOI 9135 David Taylor - Response 1. How much money is the library service expected to contribute towards this savings target? No decision has been made yet In order to achieve these savings the Council has identified that the numbers of libraries will reduce to just 4 or 6 key branches from the current 16 libraries and the mobile library. Council Libraries are seen by the public as the face of the Council and as part of the on going Enfield 2017 project are defined to be the gateways for the public to access Council services. 2. How will Enfield Council fulfill its Enfield 2017 strategy of using public libraries as gateways to Council services if their is to be a reduction in the number of libraries? There has been no decision made about a reduction in the number of libraries Their is a rumor that if libraries are not going to be closed then a sponsorship scheme will be put in place and volunteers will be used to run 10 libraries that face closure: No decision has been made yet. However, sponsorship is not one of the options as outlined in the public consultation 3. What companies have been approached to sponsor the libraries if this is the case? No decision has been made yet. However, sponsorship is not one of the options as outlined in the public consultation 4. How much money is being offered/sought to sponsor the libraries? No decision has been made yet. However, sponsorship is not one of the options as outlined in the public consultation 5. How will the Council convince volunteers to work in the sponsored libraries when currently volunteers are not coming forward to work in the current environment as part of the current strategy? If volunteers are to be used more widely we will encourage local community participation and involvement by a robust recruitment drive and developing a quality assured programme of training and development for all volunteers 6. To see what savings will be achieved by closing libraries can you please supply the running costs of each of the following libraries for the past three years: Enfield Town Palmers Green Edmonton Green Ordnance Road Bowes Road Southgate Enfield Highway Ponders End Winchmore Hill Enfield Island Village Oakwood Bullsmoor Fore Street Angel Raynham Ridge Avenue Milfield Community Library Mobile Library The only cost which can be broken down by library is premises costs and they are listed below.

I would also like to see identified which libraries from my list face the possibility of closure or handed over to sponsors to be run by volunteers. No decision has been made yet. However, sponsorship is not one of the options as outlined in the public consultation 7.How many senior managers posts will be removed in order make significant savings to the library budget? No decision has been made yet 8. How many front-line staff jobs will be cut and what is the expected saving? I would like this broken down by payment scale (SO1, Sc4, Sc 3 etc...)

  • Winchmore Hill
    Enfield Society News No. 194, Summer 2014 Enfield’s ‘mini-Holland’ project: for and against In our last issue we discussed some of the proposals in Enfield Council’s bid under the London Mayor’s “mini-Holland” scheme to make the borough more cycle-friendly. On 10th March the Mayor announced that Enfield was one of three boroughs whose bids had been selected and that we would receive up to £30 million to implement the project. This provides a great opportunity to make extensive changes and improvements which will affect everyone who uses our streets and town centres, but there is not unanimous agreement that the present proposals are the best way of spending this money. The Council has promised extensive consultations before the proposals are developed to a detailed design stage, but it is not clear whether there are conditions attached to the funds which would prevent significant departures from the proposals in the bid. The Enfield Society thinks that it would be premature to express a definitive view until the options have been fully explored, but we are keen to participate in the consultation process, in accordance with the aim in our constitution to “ensure that new developments are environmentally sound, well designed and take account of the relevant interests of all sections of the community”. We have therefore asked two of our members to write columns for and against the current proposals, in order to stimulate discussion. A third column, from the Enfield Town Conservation Area Study Group, suggests a more visionary transformation of Enfield Town. Yes to mini-Holland! Doubts about mini- Let’s start with the people of Enfield.
