Bishop's Cleeve Library is under threat.
Proposed cuts in local library services means that Bishop's Cleeve library service is under threat of being downgraded.
Bishop's Cleeve library is currently the 3rd busiest library in Gloucestershire. This success is due to the hard work of managment and staff, its ideal position close to shops, schools and parking and the needs of the local community. If it gets cut in half now it will no longer be the great resource it is and may well be closed in a few years' time.
A big thank you to everyone who has signed the petition.
