Baroness Whitaker on the attacks to Lambeth’s Libraries;
“I have just moved into the Waterloo area and am so impressed by the constant use of my new excellent local library, with its IT facilities, clearly very much needed, its good collection of local books and its helpful staff. In my view it would be very damaging to the neighbourhood of Lower Marsh, the local vibrant shopping street, for it to be deprived of its library. Its site is easily accessible and it adds a lot to the street. All I hear from local people is how they value it as part of the Lower Marsh Community. I do urge Lambeth Council to keep it where it is.”
