DELAYS IN REOPENING THE PERRY COMMON LIBRARY


I have recently learnt that the Perry Common Library refurbishment has received a set back. The roof beams having dry and wet rot have been known about for some time but now more damage has been found which needs dealing with.
This Library is also a grade 2 listed building which means the English Heritage team will have to be involved in regards to its repair. They are due to visit the building later this year.
All in all the new date for reopening looks likely to be put back to November.

As a regular user of this library I know only to well how frustrating these delays are. Both Councillor Barbara Dring and I will do what we can speed up the process and we will be monitoring the situation.

I love this library - I have been using Kingstanding in its absence and it really is a poor substitute....
