Residents are invited to have their say on how Cheshire East’s libraries could be run in the future.
Cheshire East Council has launched a six-week consultation on its draft libraries strategy, which includes asking for feedback on a tiering system for how library services would be promoted and invested in going forward.
The council must make savings in library services of more than £600k over the next two years to support the council’s medium-term financial strategy (MTFS) 2024-2028.
The MTFS needs to achieve budget savings of £100 million to continue offering support to Cheshire East’s most vulnerable residents.
The consultation runs until Sunday 15 September and can be found online
After considering the feedback from the consultation, final proposals for libraries will be developed and brought back to committee in autumn.
