www.communitynews-southmolton.co.uk For local events and information please see inside Changes to your mobile library service
Devon County Council is to cut the cost of its mobile library service to make it more financially sustainable. Sixty five of the most under used mobile library stops are removed and the frequency of visits changes from fortnightly to four-weekly for the remaining 454 stops from April 1st. This area will be served by mobile libraries based at Torrington and Tiverton. The timing of all stops will also change from April 1st. For your new timetable go to www.devon.gov.uk/index/culture heritage/libraries/yourmobilelibrary/mobile timetables.htm or ask your library. The changes will help save up to £125,000 a year towards the £110 million cuts the council faces over the next four years, due to Government funding reductions. Consultation about the proposals before Christmas drew 1,585 responses from mobile library users. Only 62 of these referred to the 69 under used stops proposed for withdrawal on the grounds that just three or fewer people regularly visit them. Having heard the responses, the Council has decided to reinstate 4 of these stops. The majority said that they would continue to use the service on the new four weekly basis. A number also asked about the Council’s Home Delivery Service, provided by the Royal Voluntary Service. Under that scheme, anyone unable to use a static or mobile library because of illness or due to advanced age or disability, can receive books and spoken word items at home. Cllr Roger Croad, the Council’s Cabinet Member with responsibility for the library service, thanked all those who responded to the consultation. Local stops to be withdrawn from the service from April, are:
Ashreigney, Beech Lea East Anstey School Molland, Wade Mill Chapelton, Fishleigh Cottages East Knowstone, The Smiths House North Molton Hill Cheldon Church East Worlington, Village Hall Rose Ash Drayford Cross Gunn, Post Box
