We had some success.

A few days ago counsellor David Harrison from Hampshire contacted me and alerted me to the favorable decisions made by the Red Cross to continue servicing the areas as it has done for the past 60 or so years. Because of our determination, belief in the service  and the necessity of the service I'm pleased to inform you that the service will remain open.

After our well publicised local campaign, I am pleased to announce that the City of London agreed to extend the hours at Artizan Street Community Library. This is fantastic news! In addition to extending the hours the City will also now be trialling a Saturday opening slot for six months. From 14th May 2018 the new Library hours will be as follows: Monday- 8am-7pm Tuesday- 8am-5.30pm Wednesday- 8am-5.30pm Thursday- 8am-5.30pm Friday- 8am-5.30pm Saturday- 9am-1pm This really is tremendous news for the local community and it will now mean that this wonderful resource is available for even more people to use on a daily basis. Thank you to everyone who signed the petition and to the parents who came to the Guildhall last month to hand-in the petition. We couldn't have got this result without all of your support.
