Labour run Waltham Forest Council voted to close down Harrow Green Library on 2nd December 2011.

All the Labour councillors voted, en masse, for the closure. This i9ncluded Cann Hall’s two Labour councillors. They did this despite the fact that well over 5,000 local residents signed petitions, one carried out by the local Liberal Democrats, to keep it open.

It is quite clear that our two Labour councillors obey Labour Party diktat rather than the views of the people they represent, Shame on them!

Liberal Democrat Focus Team member Clyde Kitson said: “The statistic that struck me most was that 50% of the library users are local children. My main reason for doing the petition was for them and their future”.
